NEET-UG 2024 Revised Results Yet to Be Declared, Clarifies Education Ministry

In a recent clarification, the Education Ministry announced that the final revised results for NEET-UG 2024 have not yet been released. The announcement came after confusion arose when an old link on the National Testing Agency (NTA) website was mistakenly thought to be the release of new scorecards.

On Thursday, an NTA spokesperson confirmed that the revised results, expected to be released soon, are still under review. This marks the third revision of scores, following recommendations from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi to deduct five marks for students who answered a Physics question incorrectly. The revised results will affect the rankings of all 23 lakh candidates, including those who previously achieved full marks.

The confusion started when an outdated link for revised scorecards appeared on the NTA website, leading to misunderstandings among students and parents. The NTA clarified that this link was from the re-test conducted for 1,563 candidates and was not for the upcoming revised results.

Earlier, on Tuesday, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had assured that the revised scores would be released within two days. The minister also addressed concerns about the integrity of the examination process, highlighting past issues of paper leaks in Rajasthan under the Congress government. Pradhan emphasized the government's commitment to conducting zero-error and tamper-proof exams.

The NEET-UG 2024 results have been a subject of controversy, with numerous petitions and debates. The Supreme Court recently declined pleas to cancel the exam, maintaining the integrity of the revised results process.

The Education Ministry urges all candidates to await the official announcement for the revised results, expected to be released soon.
