This year, the NEET UG exam took place May 5. During the test, 1563 candidates at seven centres faced time loss due to the distribution of wrong question papers. To compensate them, the National Testing Agency decided to award grace marks.
However, the move was called off after petitions challenging it were filed in the Supreme Court.
During a Supreme Court hearing on the issue, the Centre said that the grace marks awarded to these candidates have been cancelled. It said that the concerned candidates will get another chance to appear in the examination.
If they choose not to appear for the re-examination, their original scores (without the grace marks) will be treated as final.
Notably, only 813 of the 1563 eligible candidates appeared for the NEET re-test.
