The NTA will soon announce the amended NEET-UG 2024 merit list. On the official website, exams.nta.ac.in, candidates will be able to view their updated scorecards upon release.
Based on the Supreme Court’s views, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had earlier said that the NEET-UG 2024 final results would be released in two days.
The verdict on compensatory marks by the Supreme Court. The NTA was ordered by the Supreme Court on Tuesday to remove the bonus marks that were given to a particular set of students on a Physics question.
The court decided that only one of the four possibilities for a correct response would be accepted. Students who had originally received a perfect score of 720 out of 720 will therefore lose four marks.
Prior to this, a student had brought attention to the fact that only one of the two possible responses for “Question No. 29” in the Physics part was meant to be correct.
The Director of IIT Delhi was given instructions by the Supreme Court to put together a group of three experts and provide a report outlining the right response to the particular Physics question. The court subsequently ruled that “Marks will be awarded for only one answer, which is option No. 4 for the Physics question on atomic theory,” based on the conclusions of IIT Delhi.
Initially, the NTA had decided to grant extra marks to certain students who answered incorrectly due to a mistake in their old class 12 NCERT science textbook. However, on Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled that only one correct answer would be accepted, and no marks would be given for other responses.
The court also dismissed several petitions seeking the cancellation and retest of the NEET-UG 2024 exam. Chief Justice Chandrachud noted that there was no evidence of systemic leaks or other malpractices associated with the exam.
