Topper numbers drop as NTA releases revised NEET (UG) 2024 scores after retest

NEW DELHI — The National Testing Agency, or NTA, released the results of the retake of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate), or NEET late on Sunday night. 1,563 students who had previously received grace marks as compensation for missing exam time on May 5 were granted another chance to take the test.

The students who choose not to take the retest have now received their previous score, which does not include the grace marks. Six of the 813 applicants from Haryana previously received a perfect score of 720 out of 720. According to a government official, none of them received perfect scores on the reexamination.

“Revised scorecards of all candidates of NEET (UG) 2024 (including 1563 candidates who appeared in the re-test on June 23, 2024) are now being hosted on the website (https://exams.nta.ac.in/NEET/),” the NTA stated in a notice.

Candidates can access, download, and print their individual updated scorecards by logging on to the website.
