NEET 2024 hearing in Supreme Court: NTA’s reply on 67 students who scored 720/720

 “Out of 67 students, 6 scored 720 marks in view of the grace marks given and they were from Jhajjar center where there was loss of time. Therefore, in view of the re-test on 23.06.2024 in lieu of grace marks, those 6 candidates have not been able to obtain 720 marks in the re-test. Thus, the total number of actual candidates, whose final scorecard shows 720 marks, is only 61.

Secondly, out of 61 candidates, there were only 17 candidates who were scoring 720/720 marks on the basis of provisional answer key and 44 candidates due to revision in one answer key of Physics,” NTA said.
