New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Saturday announced the centre and city-wise results for the medical entrance exam NEET-UG, which is currently under the scanner over alleged irregularities.
The results, initially announced on June 5, have been republished in this new format following an order from the Supreme Court.
Supreme court is hearing several petitions regarding alleged malpractices in the conduct of the exam, including accusations of paper leaks.
The NEET-UG exam was conducted on May 5 at 4,750 centres in 571 cities, including 14 cities abroad, for more than 24 lakh candidates.
The Supreme Court ordered that the results be announced while masking the identities of the aspirants, stating that it wanted to determine whether candidates appearing at allegedly tainted centres secured more marks than those writing the exam elsewhere.
The top court will resume hearing the arguments on July 22, addressing a batch of pleas seeking the cancellation of the exam, a re-test, and a court-monitored investigation into the allegations of malpractice in this prestigious examination.
