NEET UG 2024 Hearing Live Updates: The Centre informed the Supreme Court on Thursday that the decision to grant grace marks to 1,563 NEET-UG 2024 candidates for admission to MBBS, BDS, and other courses has been rescinded. These candidates will have the opportunity to opt for a re-test scheduled for June 23.
The court, however, declined to halt the admissions counselling process. If any of the 1,563 candidates choose not to participate in the retest, their previous marks, excluding the grace marks, will be considered for result purposes.
The re-test results will be declared on June 30, and the centre said the counselling for admission in the MBBS, BDS, and other courses will start on July 6.
As many as 67 students scored a perfect 720, unprecedented in the NTA's history, with six from a centre in Haryana's Faridabad figuring in the list, raising suspicions about irregularities.
Scores of students protested in Delhi on June 10, seeking a probe into alleged irregularities. Grace marks, it has been alleged, contributed to 67 students sharing the top rank.
The NTA conducts the NEET-UG examination for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions across the country.

NEET UG 2024 Hearing Live: What Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said over NEET UG 2024 row
NEET UG 2024 Hearing Live: “Regarding the NEET issue, the Supreme Court made a decision today. Around 24 lakh students appeared for the NEET exam and around 13 lakh students qualified. Around 4,500 centres are there for the exams conducted in 13 languages. This time when the exam was held, in 6 centres out of 4500 centres, the wrong question papers were sent mistakenly. The correct question paper was later provided but this took a little bit of time. Around 1,563 students were giving the exams in these centres and had to face time loss. Supreme Court's standing order says that instead of re-examination, grace marks are given. NTA constituted an expert committee and applied the grace mark rule. Later it was found that some students got 100% marks. After this, some people went to the Court. Supreme Court gave a verdict that 1,563 students will be given the option to either reappear in the NEET exam or accept the original marks (without grace marks). I accept the verdict of the Supreme Court. The GoI has taken this issue seriously. Over 50 lakh students appear for NEET, JEE and CUET exams that are conducted by NTA. Action will be taken on the people responsible for creating problems in the examination..." Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said.
