The Madurai bench of Madras High Court had on July 10 ordered the CBSE to provide 196 grace marks for students who appeared for NEET examinations in Tamil following reports on incorrect translations from English to Tamil in the question papers.
After the CBSE filed petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Madras High court's order, the Supreme Court stated that measures will be taken to make sure that such errors don't happen again.
