The Centre informed the Supreme Court of its decision to annul the scorecards of 1,563 NEET-UG 2024 candidates who received grace marks. Additionally, these candidates will have the opportunity to opt for a re-test.
The Centre said that a committee was constituted to reevaluate the results of 1,563 NEET-UG 2024 candidates who were awarded “grace marks.” These marks were intended to compensate for the time lost during the examination.
“A committee meeting was held on June 10, 11, and 12 to investigate the allegations. Based on the committee’s recommendations, the scorecards of the affected candidates will be cancelled, and a re-examination will be held for these students,” the Centre told the top court. It added that those candidates whose scorecards are being cancelled would be given the option to retake the test.
These students will be informed of their actual scores(without grace marks). They will be given an option to appear for a re-examination. Results of the students who do not wish to appear for the re-examination will be based on the exam held on May 5.
The re-examination is scheduled for 23 June, and the results will be declared before 30 June, according to the National Testing Agency’s (NTA).
“All pleas, including those seeking cancellation of NEET-UG, 2024 on account of allegation of malpractices, will be taken up on Jul 8,” the apex court said.
