NEET-UG 2024 Result: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released revised results for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2024. This update comes after the Supreme Court directed the NTA to reconsider a physics question that was found to have two correct answers.
Revised Results Overview
In the newly revised results, 17 candidates have secured the top rank by scoring 720 marks, a significant reduction from the initial 67 top scorers. This adjustment is due to the NTA rescinding grace marks that had been awarded to some candidates and addressing the ambiguity over the correct answer for a physics question.
Background of the Revision
The revision was necessitated by a Supreme Court directive. The court had ordered the NTA to review the results after identifying a physics question with two correct answers. An expert panel from IIT Delhi, formed on the Supreme Court’s advice, determined that the question on ‘atoms and its characteristics’ had only one correct option, contrary to the NTA’s initial position.
Impact on Candidates
Initially, 67 candidates had achieved a perfect score of 720 marks. However, six of these candidates had received grace marks, which were subsequently rescinded by the NTA. Additionally, 44 candidates had achieved the perfect score due to the ambiguity over the physics question. After the revision, only 17 candidates retained their perfect scores, reflecting a more accurate assessment of their performance.
Conclusion
The NEET-UG 2024 results revision by the NTA, following the Supreme Court’s directive, ensures a fairer and more accurate evaluation of candidates. With the expert panel’s clarification on the physics question, the revised results now more accurately reflect the true performance of the top candidates.
This article provides an overview of the revised NEET-UG 2024 results, explaining the Supreme Court’s intervention, the NTA’s response, and the impact on candidates.
