The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the much-awaited results for the NEET UG 2024 re-test. This re-examination was conducted on June 23, 2024, for a specific group of 1563 candidates who were impacted by initial exam delays. The announcement of the re-test results also includes the revision of ranks for all NEET UG 2024 test-takers.
This blog provides a comprehensive overview of the NEET UG 2024 re-test results and the revised rank list. We’ll also explore the key dates and upcoming processes for aspiring medical students.
Background of the Re-Test
The initial NEET UG 2024 exam, held on May 5, 2024, faced some controversy regarding the awarding of grace marks to certain students. This sparked concerns about fairness and equal opportunity. To address these concerns and ensure a level playing field, the Supreme Court mandated a re-test for the affected candidates.
Re-Test Process and Timeline
The NTA conducted the re-test on June 23, 2024, for the designated group of 1563 candidates. Following the re-test, the answer key was released on June 28, 2024, allowing candidates to challenge any discrepancies. The NTA then reviewed these challenges and released the final answer key on June 30, 2024.
Announcement of Results and Revised Ranks
On June 30, 2024, the NTA officially declared the results for the NEET UG 2024 re-test. This announcement included the revised scorecards for all candidates (including those who took the re-test) and the revision of ranks for the entire NEET UG 2024 applicant pool.

What the Revised Ranks Mean
