July 1, 2024, New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the NEET UG 2024 retest results, significantly affecting the standings of top scorers. Conducted for 1563 candidates, this retest was held following complaints about exam time loss during the initial test, which had granted them grace marks. As a result, the number of perfect scorers has been reduced from 67 to 61.
The students who took the retest can now view their scores on the official website @exams.nta.ac.in/NEET.
“None of the 813 candidates scored 720/720, reducing the tally of perfect scorers from 67 to 61,” said NTA sources.
