NEET Exam 2024: Total 1563 NEET Candidates were given grace marks Due to Loss of Time saya NTA
NEET Exam 2024: The National Testing Agency stated that 1,563 students in NEET 2024 made up for the lost time, and 44 out of the 67 who received all 720 marks were awarded the All India Rank (AIR) 1, due to a physics question that had two right answers. In response to questions from students about the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) result 2024, the exam authority released an explanation.
The NEET 2024 results generated controversy because 67 candidates received rank one and eight of them came from the same center. Additionally, the NTA offered grace marks, which caused students to receive scores of 718 and 719. Many candidates turned to social media to call for a new exam and the cancellation of the NEET exam that was scheduled on 5th May 2024. Regarding the NEET results, the recently elected opposition voiced its opinions and demanded clarification from the governing party.
Every year, the total performance of candidates is used to calculate the cutoff scores. This year’s candidates attained greater performance standards, which is reflected in the increased cutoff. The test is more difficult. Annual variations are shown below for the cut-offs and average scores of eligible candidates (out of 720).
Following a few NEET 2024 candidates’ writ suits about time lost during the exam in the high courts of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and Chhattisgarh, the NTA explained the need for compensatory marks and said a grievance redressal committee was established to investigate students’ issues. “Factual reports” and CCTV footage from the exam centres in question were the foundation for the panel’s consideration of the complaints.
“The candidates’ examination time loss was determined, and their marks were awarded based on their efficiency in answering and the amount of time they lost, in accordance with the procedure/formula established by the Honorable Apex Court in its ruling dated June 13, 2018, in W.P. 551 of 2018,” the NTA said.
The exam body reported that as a result, 1,563 NEET candidates received grace marks, and their revised scores ranged from -20 to 720. Two competitors received 718 and 719 scores in the exam, respectively, as a result of compensating marks.
NTA stated, “On the analysis of the CCTV footage, it was ascertained that the integrity of the examination was not compromised at these Centers,” refuting any anomalies in NEET UG 2024.
According to a statement from NTA, a physics question on the NEET exam 2024 put 44 people in first place. Subject matter experts examined 13,373 challenges to the provisional answer key for that question and discovered that two options were incorrect in both the old and new editions of the NCERT physics book. As a result, the answer key was corrected, and 44 students received full marks.
The announcement stated, “Of the 67 candidates who received 720/720 marks, 44 are due to a revision in one Physics Answer Key and 06 are due to compensatory marks for time lost.”
Regarding the NEET UG result date in 2024, the testing organization stated that NTA exam results are released as soon as the required verifications are finished following the answer key challenge period. A number of academicians and students had expressed concerns about the NEET results 2024, claiming there was a scam and an error in the results, and how the results were released 10 days ahead of the scheduled date of announcement, 14th June 2024.
