The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared on Thursday that the allocation of "grace marks" will cause the results of 1,563 applicants in the 2024 National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate) (NEET-UG) to be revoked. On June 23, these applicants will have another chance to take the test. Judges Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta of the Supreme Court bench were notified by the NTA that a committee had examined the cases of more than 1,563 applicants who had received grace marks to make up for time lost in the NEET-UG exam, reported ANI.
"The committee decided to cancel the scorecards of these 1,563 candidates. They will have the option to retake the exam," NTA told the court and added, "The exam will be conducted on June 23, and the results will be declared before June 30."
