A petition has been filed by a group of students alleging that the question paper in eight vernacular languages was more difficult than that in English and Hindi. The next hearing in the case is listed for August 8. CBSE has already rejected that there were any variations in the question papers a previous hearing.
NEET 2017 was held on May 7 and many aspirants, especially from Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, have been complaining about the variations.
