NTA will release the National Eligibility Combined Entrance Test, NEET UG final result in two days. After this, the NEET revised result is expected to be declared tomorrow, July 25.

In a significant development, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan hailed the Supreme Court's recent judgment on the NEET-UG case, stressing the victory of truth. Additionally, Pradhan revealed that the National Testing Agency (NTA) will announce the final result of the medical entrance exam in the next two days. Confirming the announcement, Pradhan assured that the NTA will immediately declare the NEET-UG results within 48 hours and adjust the merit list of the exam following the Supreme Court's directions.

The Supreme Court's decision to dismiss the plea to cancel the controversial NEET-UG exam 2024 and conduct a re-test has been significant. The court clarified that there was no substantial evidence to suggest any compromise in the integrity of the examination due to systemic violations. The Supreme Court said that there was no evidence on record to conclude that the “systematic breach” of sanctity led to the “disruption” of the examination.

The interim verdict, after a detailed and reasoned order, dealt a blow to the BJP-led NDA government and the National Testing Agency (NTA), which were heavily criticized and protested on and off the streets. Parliament over allegations of widespread malpractices such as question paper-splitting, cheating and impersonation in the prestigious examination held on May 5.

“'Satyamev Jayate'. Truth has prevailed,” Pradhan said while welcoming the court's stance at a press conference. The education minister underlined his firm stance on examination irregularities, saying, “Anyone found involved in examination irregularities will face consequences. We have zero tolerance for violations; Maintaining the integrity of the exam is paramount to us.”

“The Supreme Court dismissed the petition seeking cancellation of the 2024 NEET-UG and re-examination, holding that there is no evidence on record to conclude that the sanctity of the examination has been violated. Today's result on NEET-UG will put an end to speculations and bring relief to lakhs of hardworking and honest students,” said Pradhan.

SC dismissed the plea seeking cancellation of NEET-UG 2024 examination and re-examination

The SC on Tuesday dismissed a plea seeking cancellation and re-testing of the controversial NEET-UG 2024 examination over allegations of paper leaks and irregularities. The court held that there was no evidence on record to conclude that the examination was “disrupted” due to “systematic violation of sanctity”.

The SC asked the NTA to declare the recalculated results based on the correct answer to the Physics question reported by IIT-Delhi.

The SC accepted the IIT-Delhi report and NTA was accordingly asked to “re-tally” the results of NEET-UG with option no. 4 indicates the only correct answer to the question. Due to confusion over correct answer NTA awarded 4 marks to all candidates who marked both options as correct answer, resulting in 44 toppers.

“Initially, NTA showed the second option of the question with the answer key as the correct answer. However, after considering the statements, both options 2 and 4 were taken as correct answers. However, the director of IIT Delhi, who heads the three-member committee, has submitted a report saying that option 4 is correct. The NTA will recalculate the result based on the correct answer as per the IIT-Delhi report,” said Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud.
