NEET UG 2024 retest result announced, toppers’ tally reduced to 61

However, they repeated high scores upwards of 680. This time, five out of six of those top candidates had appeared for the retest, and the one remaining student will be the original score, i.e. score without grace marks.

In this exam, as many as 813 of the 1,563 candidates had appeared for the retest, officials said. While the retest was conducted in the same six cities, the agency had selected six new exam centres this time. As per data, none of the two candidates from Chandigarh appeared for the exam. A total of 291 students out of 602 appeared from Chhattisgarh, 1 student from Gujarat, 287 out of 494 appeared from Haryana, and 234 appeared from Meghalaya’s Tura.

On Supreme Court’s and a high-powered committee’s order, NTA had conducted a retest on June 23 for 1,563 candidates, who were initially awarded grace marks after they had claimed they suffered loss of exam time.

The affected students were given a choice to either retain their original scores, i.e. without grace marks, or appear for the retest. The students who appeared for the retest will be issued a revised score. However, the students who have skipped the retest will now be awarded their old original score, which is the score without the grace marks.

Meanwhile, there are several other petitions regarding NEET-UG 2024 result in the Supreme Court, majority of which will now be heard on July 8.

Additionally, the Centre is now considering the possibility of holding NEET-UG online from next year, senior officials have told The Indian Express.
