The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced the revised results for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate), NEET UG 2024, on Thursday.
Candidates can access the updated results on the official NEET website: https://neet.ntaonline.in.
This revision follows the Supreme Court’s dismissal of pleas for the cancellation and retesting of the exam, which had been marred by controversies, particularly concerning physics questions.
NEET UG 2024 row: Overview
The NEET UG 2024 was conducted by the NTA on May 5, from 2.00 pm to 5.20 pm, across 4,750 centres in 571 cities, including 14 cities abroad, with over 2.4 million candidates appearing for the exam.
The initial results, declared on June 4, listed 67 students as sharing the All-India Rank (AIR) 1. Among these, six students had been compensated with extra marks due to errors by invigilators, and 44 students had topped the exam due to the provision of grace marks.
NEET UG 2024 row: SC ruling & result revision
The Supreme Court’s recent ruling determined that there would be only one correct answer for the contentious questions, and students who answered otherwise would not receive marks.
This decision directly impacted the scores of the 44 candidates who had previously achieved a perfect score of 720/720 and were ranked as AIR 1. These candidates will now face a deduction of five marks and will lose their topper status.
Following this ruling, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced that the NTA would release a new merit list within two days.
