Revised NEET-UG 2024 results not published yet, says Education Ministry
Ministry says several students were unable to access the results on the link given by NTA and that it was an old link
Hours after NTA was reported to have released the revised results of NEET-UG 2024, the Union Education Ministry on Thursday (July 25) clarified that the link was an old one and the new scorecard hasn’t been released yet.
“Students are unable to access the results on it. It will be released soon. The link is an old link,” the ministry said.
The link for NEET results on the official website of National Testing Agency (NTA), is titled as ‘Revised Score Card Link’ even though it appears not be functional yet.
The Supreme Court, while rejecting pleas seeking re-test on July 23 had also asked the National Testing Agency (NTA) to release a revised merit list of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG). While marks of several students were affected by a controversial physics question, the apex court had asked NTA to treat the answer suggested by a panel of three experts of IIT Delhi as the correct one.
Controversial physics question
The NTA had treated the two options as correct answers to the physics question and had granted four marks to those examinees who had marked these options.In the revised merit list, only those students, whose answers match the one given by IIT-Delhi, would have got four marks for the question and over four lakh NEET-UG aspirants, who answered the other option as per the old NCERT textbook, would have lost five marks instead, leading to a reshuffle in their ranks.
Education minister welcomes SC verdict
Soon after the Supreme Court's verdict on Tuesday, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had announced that a revised merit list will be announced in two days’ time keeping in line with the directions of the top court.
“Truth prevails, we welcome the order of the Supreme Court. We have said from the beginning, our priority is the students of the country… over the past two months, the government’s stand has been that there has been no large-scale breach. Today, in the Supreme Court, this was shown to be right,” Pradhan had said.
The results published on June 4, had 67 candidates who had scored 720 marks and were tied for the first place. Of the 67, six had scored full marks after being compensated with extra marks for the time lost during the examination due to mistakes made by invigilators. Another 44 could grab the top spot as they received “grace marks” as they got an answer to a basic physics question wrong.
