NEET-UG Retest Results Spark Controversy Amid Irregularity Allegations

The National Testing Agency (NTA) revised NEET-UG results, reducing top-rank candidates from 67 to 61 post-retest. This follows a Supreme Court directive on allegations of grace marks inflating scores. Significant absenteeism was noted in retests at various centers. Concerns over irregularities and grace marks persist.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has revised the NEET-UG results, reducing the number of top-ranking candidates from 67 to 61. This follows a retest for 1,563 candidates who were initially awarded grace marks to compensate for a delayed exam at six centers on May 5.

Of these, five candidates opted for a retest but none retained their perfect score of 720. The NTA did not disclose the new scores of these candidates. The retest saw 48% attendance, with 813 of the 1,563 candidates appearing. The Supreme Court had ordered the cancellation of grace marks and allowed for a retest due to allegations of score inflation.

The NEET-UG retest, conducted at seven centers, witnessed no attendance in Chandigarh and varying attendance across other centers. Allegations of grace marks leading to inflated scores prompted the court's intervention. The controversy continues, with demands for a re-test amid ongoing investigations into potential irregularities.
