NEET UG 2024 Toppers Dropped by 75%! Revised Results & Counselling Dates

Initial Results and Supreme Court Intervention

The preliminary results of the Supreme Court were announced on June 4, with as many as 67 candidates scoring 720. However, the difference was due to extra marks awarded for time lost during the test due to invigilator errors and free marks awarded for controversial physics questions.

In response to these questions, NTA re-administered the exam on 23 June for 1,563 candidates who missed the first exam on 5 May.
