New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Saturday declared results for the retest of NEET exams, and surprisingly, the NEET testing centre in Haryana, which had six students scoring a perfect 720 out of 720 marks, now had none of the candidates scoring above 682 marks. The results showed a stark contrast as seen in the city-wise results. As per the results announced by the NTA, only one student managed to score 682.

At Haryana’s Hardayal Public School centre located in Bahadurgarh, a total of 494 students appeared for the exam, among whom, the highest score was 682, achieved by only one student. Apart from him, only 13 students managed to score above 600 marks.

800 Candidates Appeared For Retest

Earlier, the NEET exam data showed that six of the candidates who appeared for the test at the centre had scored a perfect 720 marks, while two others managed to score 718 and 719 marks respectively.

These scores had led to widespread suspicion which escalated to a massive uproar prompting candidates and their families demanding a detailed inquiry alleging examination paper leak. The Supreme Court intervened, cancelling the grace marks that had been awarded and ordering 1,563 candidates to retake the exam. Of these, about 800 students appeared for the re-examination.

The NTA announced the centre and city-wise results following a Supreme Court order. The results, initially declared on June 5, were re-published to mask the identities of the aspirants. This measure aimed to determine whether candidates from allegedly tainted centres scored disproportionately high marks compared to those from other centres.

The NEET-UG exam, held on May 5, took place across 4,750 centres in 571 cities, including 14 international locations, accommodating over 24 lakh candidates. Allegations of irregularities, including a paper leak, have put the exam under intense scrutiny.

The Supreme Court is set to resume hearings on the matter on July 22, addressing multiple petitions seeking the cancellation of the exam, a re-test, and a court-monitored probe into the allegations of malpractice.
