The NEET UG 2024 results are here, and it's a surprise!
A record-breaking 67 students have secured the coveted All India Rank (AIR) 1.
This unexpected turn of events has left students and experts wondering what happened.
Now, before getting into that let’s get into the steps to access the NEET (UG) 2024 Scorecard.
Here's how you can check your NEET UG results:
The culprit behind this record number of toppers? A discrepancy in the NCERT textbooks, the backbone for NEET preparation. The question in question involved atomic stability, and both the old and new NCERT books offered conflicting information.
The question asked students to identify the correct statement about atomic stability from four options. However, the old NCERT book stated all elements have stable atoms, while the new one clarified that stability applies to most elements, not all. Recognizing the confusion, the NTA awarded full marks (5) to students who chose either option. This bumped up the scores of 44 students from 715 to 720, propelling them to the top rank.
While the NCERT goof-up played a major role, the NTA clarifies it wasn't the only factor. They acknowledge:
Students, particularly those in the general category, are concerned that the inflated number of toppers might affect their chances of securing a seat. The NTA assures them that the total number of seats remains unchanged for all categories. Additionally, the easier paper supposedly evens the playing field.
This incident highlights the challenges of keeping pace with changing educational materials. It's a wake-up call for both students and exam bodies to stay updated on syllabus revisions.
While the NEET UG 2024 results have brought unexpected challenges, they also offer an opportunity to improve the examination and preparation processes for the future. Stay informed, adapt to changes & ensure your preparation aligns with the most current and accurate information available.
