NTA to Reconduct NEET (UG) 2024: Grace Marks Cancelled for 1563 Candidates
The National Testing Agency (NTA) published a public announcement on June 13th, 2024, stating that NEET (UG) 2024 would be held again for the 1,563 candidates who faced disruptions. These students lost time during the initial test on May 05, 2024, and had previously been granted grace marks.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) originally held NEET (UG) – 2024 on May 05, 2024, between 02:00 and 05:20 P.M. (IST) across 4,750 centers located in 571 cities, which included 14 overseas cities, serving upwards of 24 lakh applicants. Results came out on June 04, 2024, showing that more than 13 lakh test-takers passed, while 1,563 individuals received compensatory marks to account for time lost during the test.
After a thorough review and evaluation of every pertinent factor by the High Powered Committee, the NTA resolved to hold the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) [NEET (UG)] – 2024 again on June 23, 2024, exclusively for the specific cohort of students who were awarded compensatory marks.
