NEET Revised Result 2024: What went wrong?
Amid a plethora of issues with this year’s NEET 2024 exam, held on May 5, lied a physics question which divided the opinion of over 23 lakh candidates on what should be the correct answer. Even though the testing agency kept option four as the right answer to question number 17, students who chose otherwise claimed their answer to be right.
Upon a quality check, the subject experts found that both the options are correct, thanks to the old and new editions of NCERT books. Therefore, all those candidates (44) who raised objections to the answer key were given full marks. However, another problem, that of grace marks awarded to 1,563 candidates , made NTA take a re-exam of the privileged ones and rendered 61 as toppers as six who had landed in the toppers list with the grace of compensatory marks could not score full 720 marks.
During the hearing of the NEET case over alleged paper leak and irregularities, the Supreme Court asked the director of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi to form a panel and recommend its answer. To the disappointment of the benefitted candidates, the IIT committee submitted option four as the correct answer and the top court approved it stating no question can have two correct answers. The top court dismissed the petitions to cancel NEET UG 2024 and ordered NTA to publish revised results .
