 NEET-UG 2024 Update: Grace Marks Cancelled, Retest for 1563 Candidates on June 23

The drama surrounding NEET-UG 2024 results continues.

The Centre has informed the Supreme Court of its decision to cancel the grace marks awarded to 1,563 candidates in the NEET-UG 2024 results. These students will now have two options:

  • Re-take the exam: A re-test will be held on June 23rd, 2024. The results will be declared on July 1st, 2024, before counselling begins for medical colleges.
  • Accept the score without grace marks: Students can choose to have their marks calculated without the grace marks awarded for alleged loss of time during the exam.

This decision comes after controversy erupted over the awarding of grace marks, with many questioning its fairness and the potential impact on cut-offs.

Key Points:

  • The Supreme Court has tagged together all petitions alleging irregularities like paper leaks and unfair means. These will be heard on July 8th, 2024.
  • The retest is only for the 1563 candidates who were awarded grace marks.
  • The court has clarified that only those who faced delays at their exam centres will be eligible for the re-test.

Concerns Remain:

Advocate Balaji, representing one of the petitioners, expressed satisfaction with the cancellation and retest proposal. However, concerns were raised by counsel Sai Deepak regarding students who did not approach the court but faced similar delays. Deepak highlighted that delays were reported at six examination centres and urged for a broader consideration for those affected.

What This Means for Students?

  • The re-test provides an opportunity for the 1563 affected candidates to potentially improve their scores.
  • Students who are unsure about the re-test can opt for their score without grace marks.

What to Do Next?

  • Stay tuned for official updates from NTA regarding the re-test registration process.
  • Carefully consider your options – re-taking the exam or accepting the score without grace marks.
