NEET UG 2024 Results Released by NTA Following Supreme Court Directive

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially published the results for the NEET UG 2024 examination, complying with recent directives from the Supreme Court of India. The results are now available, organized by examination centre and city, allowing candidates to access specific information regarding their performance.

Following a significant ruling on July 18 by the Supreme Court, which ordered the NTA to release the NEET UG results by noon on July 20, the agency has acted swiftly to ensure compliance. The court emphasized the necessity for the NTA to share the scores of candidates while maintaining their anonymity, thereby protecting their identities as per the court’s guidelines. The directive was issued by a bench that included Chief Justice DY Chandrachud along with Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra.

This release of results comes on the heels of a troubling incident regarding a recent paper leak in the NEET UG examination process. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested four medical students from AIIMS Patna as part of their investigation into this matter. Dr. Gopal Krushna Pal, the director of AIIMS Patna, indicated that if the involved students are proven guilty, the institution would implement appropriate disciplinary actions.

This year’s NEET UG examination took place on May 5, with over 4,750 centres operating nationwide to accommodate around 24 lakh (2.4 million) candidates who registered for the exam. Initial results were declared on June 4; however, the process necessitated a re-examination for a subset of candidates who faced issues, which occurred on June 23. The results for those re-examinations were released shortly thereafter on June 30, affecting about 1,563 candidates.

For those who wish to check their results, the NTA has provided a straightforward process. Candidates can navigate to the official NTA NEET UG website, where they will find a dedicated link for viewing results segmented by city and centre. By following a few simple steps, including selecting their respective state and centre, candidates can easily view their scores. It is advisable that individuals carefully examine their results to ensure accuracy and that no discrepancies are present.

This series of events has added to the ongoing discussions surrounding the integrity and administration of the NEET UG examination. As educational authorities implement measures to maintain the credibility of such entrance examinations, the response of public institutions like AIIMS plays a significant role in reinforcing trust in the system.

As the dust settles from this year’s examination cycle, many prospective medical students look forward to their next steps, hopes pinned on their performances in this highly competitive examination. With the NTA ensuring transparency through the release of detailed results and adhering to the Supreme Court’s mandates, candidates can be assured that their academic futures are being handled with the utmost care and consideration.
