The National Testing Agency (NTA) released the revised and final scorecard and answer key for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test undergraduate exam (NEET UG) exam on Friday. The results were revised for all the 23 lakh candidates who took the NEET-UG 2024 for the year 2024 on May 5.

The declaration was made days after the Supreme Court directed the NTA to release results after revising the answer of one Physics question. The NTA had treated the two of the four options as correct answers to the Physics question and had granted four marks to those examinees who had marked these options – based on different NCERT books.

Now, only those students, whose answers match the one given by IIT-Delhi, will get four marks for the question. Meanwhile, over four lakh NEET-UG aspirants, who answered the other option as per the old NCERT textbook, will lose five marks instead, leading to a reshuffle in their ranks. This is likely to impact the number of toppers in the NEET-UG 2024 exam – which stood at 61 as per the last results.
