NEET UG 2024 Retest Result: The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced the revised NEET UG 2024 merit list and scores on July 26. The official website of NEET UG exams.nta.ac.in/NEET/ is hosting the revised merit list scorecard link.
The result and the toppers’ list are being revised after the Supreme Court ordered on Tuesday that the compensatory marks given to a selected group of students for a Physics question be taken back.
Earlier, the NTA agreed to compensate a few students with additional marks because the incorrect answer they marked was based on an erroneous reference in their old Class 12 NCERT science textbook. However, on Tuesday the Supreme Court decided that there would be just one accurate answer and anyone responding with anything other than that would not receive marks for it.
Due to this, the 44 candidates whose score had jumped to 720/720, leading them to All India Rank (AIR) 1, will now face -5 marks and lose their topper label.
Following the Supreme Court’s verdict, the Union Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan told reporters that the NTA would release a new merit list in two days.
NEET UG 2024 drew attention as 67 candidates were announced AIR 1, once the results were announced on June 4. Furthermore, for the exam held on May 5, a total of 13,31,321 female candidates and 9,96,393 males appeared for the exam. A total of 17 transgender candidates candidates took the exam.
