The NEET re-test was held on June 23 for 1563 candidates affected by time loss during the previous exam.
This year, the UG medical entrance test for over 24 lakh candidates took place on May 5. During the test, 1563 candidates at seven centres faced time loss due to the distribution of wrong question papers. To compensate them, the NTA decided to award grace marks. However, it was later recalled.
During a Supreme Court hearing on the issue of grace marks and other irregularities surrounding the NEET UG examination, the Centre informed that the grace marks awarded to these candidates will be cancelled.
The affected students will be given another chance to appear in the examination, and if they decide not to take it, their original scores (without the grace marks) will be treated as final. Notably, only 813 of the 1563 eligible candidates appeared for the NEET re-test.
