The National Testing Agency conducted the re-exam for 1,563 students who were earlier given grace marks as compensation due to lost time during examination on May 5
None of the 813 candidates who retook the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) on June 23 have scored full marks, bringing down the tally of toppers from 67 to 61, officials said on Monday.
The National Testing Agency (NTA), which announced the results of the retest late on Sunday night, conducted the re-examination for 1,563 students who were earlier given grace marks as compensation due to lost time during their examination on May 5. As many as 813 of 1,563 appeared in the re-examination at seven centres in Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, and Meghalaya.
The students, who skipped the retest, will now be awarded their old original score without the grace marks. Among 813 candidates, six earlier scored full 720 out of 720 marks, from a Haryana centre. However, in the re-examination none of them got full marks, said a government official. It means the number of toppers has now officially reduced from 67 to 61, the official added.
“It is now informed that revised Score Cards of all Candidates of NEET(UG) 2024 (including 1563 Candidates who appeared in the Re-Test on 23 June 2024), are being hosted on the website (https://exams.nta.ac.in/NEET/). Candidates can log in to the website and view/download/print their respective revised Score Cards,” the NTA said in a notification.
