\t\t\u00a0The National Testing Agency announced the revised rank list for the medical entrance exam NEET-UG on Monday, officials said.<\/p>\n
The revised list was announced after a retest was conducted for candidates who were earlier awarded grace marks to compensate for loss of time as the exam on May 5 started late at six centres.<\/p>\n
For the retest conducted at seven centres on June 23 following a Supreme Court order, 48 per cent of the 1,563 candidates did not appear.<\/p>\n
National Testing Agency (NTA) officials reported that 813 of the 1,563 candidates appeared for the retest while the others opted for the marks without the grace.<\/p>\n
Centre-wise, Chandigarh — which had just two candidates — registered zero attendance. The under-scanner Jhajjar centre registered 58 per cent attendance, with 287 of the 494 candidates taking the retest.<\/p>\n
Allegations arose that the grace marks inflated scores, leading to six candidates from a single Haryana centre achieving a perfect 720, along with 61 others. Consequently, the top court ordered the cancellation of the grace marks and provided an option for a retest.<\/p>\n
“At least 52 per cent — 813 out of 1,563 candidates — appeared for the retest. No candidates appeared in Chandigarh while the numbers were 291 from Chhattisgarh, one from Gujarat, 287 from Haryana, and 234 from Meghalaya,” a senior NTA official earlier said.<\/p>\n
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) was held on May 5 across 4,750 centres, with approximately 24 lakh candidates appearing for it. Initially expected on June 14, the results were announced on June 4 due to early completion of answer sheet evaluations.<\/p>\n
Sixty-seven students scored a perfect 720, an unprecedented number in the NTA’s history, with six from a single centre in Haryana, raising suspicions of irregularities and the role of grace marks.<\/p>\n
NEET-UG is conducted by the NTA for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions.<\/p>\n
The allegations of irregularities, including paper leaks, have led to protests and litigation, with various quarters demanding a complete re-examination.<\/p>\n
The Centre, however, has maintained that incidents of irregularities were “localised” and it could not jeopardise the careers of lakhs of candidates who rightfully cleared the exam.<\/p>\n
