Error in NEET questions? CBSE says ambiguity an academic issue

NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) today clarified that any ambiguity in the questions of the national medical entrance exam is an academic issue and will be addressed only by the subject experts.

Its comment comes against the backdrop of concerns raised by few experts and exam candidates that the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) which was conducted by the Board on May 7, had at least four “incorrect” questions.

One question came with two correct options, while another came with all four wrong multiple choice answers.

Another question to which objection has been raised by Physics teachers read “which of the following pairs of compounds is isoelectronic and isostructural?”

“It should rather have been ‘Which of the following pairs of compounds is isostructural and has same number of valence electrons?,” a Physics teacher said. (AGENCIES)
