Step 2: Click on NEET scorecard UG 2020
Step 3: You will be redirected to a new page
Step 4: Log-in credential (roll number, date of birth as in admit card)

The result link is activated at ntaresults.nic.in while the ntaneet.nic.in link has crashed. Students need to go to ntaresults.nic.in and click on NEET scorecard 2020 link and log-in using credentials, their result will be visible.

Once the result is declared, students will have to check their marks, cut-off, rank as well as the spelling of their names and personal details. In case of any error, they will have to get in touch with the NEET authorities.

Last year, as many as 14,10,755 candidates had appeared for the exam out of which 7,97,042 cleared the examination successfully. Around 7,04,335 candidates belonging to the unreserved category secured marks between 701 and 134. Rajasthan’s Nalin Khandelwal had obtained the All India Rank (AIR) 1 in NEET UG 2019 with 99.9999291 percentile and 701 marks.

Since the answer key has been released, students can give themselves +4 for every correct answer and deduct one mark for every wrong answer. The question papers, answer key, and OMR sheets can be downloaded at the official websites - nta.ac.in or ntaneet.nic.in. 

The result is not declared yet. The official website still says "soon". Students will have to wait a little longer to check their marks as well as the merit list. however, several institutes are claiming to have their students as the top-ranking candidate. These assumptions are based on the final answer key. The final answer key is out and students can calculate their estimated marks based on that.

The Minister of Education Ramesh Pokhriyal has twice said that the NEET result will be declared today. He, however, did not mention the exact time. The NTA website is also displaying "soon" without mentioning the exact time. NEET was earlier expected to be released on October 12 but was then delayed as the NEET phase II exam was held for those who missed it at the first attempt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The JEE Main result too was delayed around midnight and hence, now the same is being expected for NEET result 2020 as well. 

While every student who gets 50 percentile and above score is considered pass, admissions are given based on the merit list. Each college will have its own cut-off. Experts believe due to the extra time being available due to delay in the exam due to the pandemic, the marks obtained by students can go higher. This year, there was a rise in the number of applicants as well. Those who used to skip NEET for AIIMS or JIPMER also appeared for it this year as NEET has become a single exam for admissions to medical, dental and allied sciences courses.

The National Testing Agency, NTA will announce the result of NEET exam shortly, according to the website. The result will be available at nta.ac.in, ntaneet.nic.in 

Most tutorial owners and students said the exams were easy as questions were straightforward and textbook based.

“NEET exam was on the easier side this year. Questions in biology and chemistry were mostly based on NCERT textbooks as usual. Also, students were better prepared as they had more time,” said Durgesh Mangeshkar, founder, IIT Prakashan.

Lalit Kumar, CMD, Prime Academy, said the exams were easier than in previous years. He also praised the preparation at the exam centres in terms of physical distancing, based on student feedback.
