The revised results have put forth a contrasting picture so far as the number of first-rank holders is concerned. In the latest results, a total of 17 candidates shared the top rank as opposed to the 61 candidates shown in the previous result.

It may be mentioned that in the results declared on June 4, 2024, a total of 67 candidates had secured a perfect 720, raising suspicions. The number was later reduced to 61 after the NTA removed the grace marks initially awarded to them on account of the loss of time.

Consequently, out of the 61, a total of 44 candidates who scored a perfect 720/720 lost four marks after expert panel from IIT-Delhi informed the Supreme Court that a question of the Physics section of the NEET-UG 2024 exam had only one correct answer and not two. This automatically meant only 17 candidates were left to share Rank 1.

The Supreme Court had directed the NTA to follow the IIT Delhi’s recommendation on the controversial Physics question and re-tally the results. The top court said, “In view of the experts' determination, we have no manner of doubt with regard to the correct option... we accept the IIT Delhi report, and accordingly, the NTA shall re-tally the NEET UG result on the basis that option 4 represents the only correct answer to the question.”
