July 1, 2024 – The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the results for the NEET UG 2024 retest, held for 1,563 candidates following issues of “grace marks” and a “paper leak.” Students can check their scores on the NTA’s official website, exams.nta.ac.in/NEET/.
The retest, conducted on June 23, was offered to candidates who were previously awarded grace marks due to a ‘loss of time’ during the initial exam. The Supreme Court later scrapped these marks, allowing candidates to either opt for a retest or retain their original scores without the grace marks.

NEET UG 2024 Controversy
The NEET UG exam 2024, held on May 5, saw over 24 lakh candidates. Results were initially declared on June 4, with 67 students achieving perfect scores of 720. However, suspicions arose after six of these top scorers were from Haryana’s Jhajjar centre, prompting an investigation into possible irregularities.
The Ministry of Education has handed the matter to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a comprehensive probe into alleged paper leaks and other irregularities. In addition, the CBI recently conducted searches at seven locations in Gujarat, spanning the districts of Anand, Kheda, Ahmedabad, and Godhra.
As the investigation continues, the NTA and other authorities aim to ensure the integrity and fairness of the NEET UG examination process.
