A high level panel has been formed to review the NEET (undergraduate) results. The National Testing Agency (NTA) and the Union Education Ministry announced the formation of a four-member committee to look into the results of over 1,500 candidates who were awarded “grace marks” to compensate for the “loss of time” suffered while appearing for this year’s NEET (undergraduate).

This decision came amid an uproar over the NEET-UG results, with states such as Maharashtra demanding a retest and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) demanding a Supreme Court-monitored probe into alleged discrepancies highlighted by students on social media.

The committee is expected to announce its verdict in a week’s time, and it will not affect other results. The NTA Director General, Subodh Kumar Singh, has denied irregularities in the results and attributed the unusually high number of top rankers to a relatively easier paper this year and the agency’s decision to award additional marks to students whose exams did not start on time. However, there have also been allegations of a paper leak, which the NTA has denied.
