The Education Ministry on Thursday said an official announcement would be made when the NEET-UG 2024 final revised results were shared.

“The revised results for NEET-UG 2024 have not been declared yet. Kindly wait for official information,” an official spokesperson from the Ministry said.
On Thursday, an old link available on the National Testing Agency (NTA) website was shared and was mistakenly assumed to be the announcement of fresh score cards.
After conducting the retest for 1,563 candidates, the NTA had to revise score cards. The current revision is the third one after scores have again been revised following Indian Institute of Technology Delhi’s recommendation on deducting five marks for students who answered one Physics question wrongly.

The revised result will hence change the ranks of all 23 lakh candidates, including those who got full marks earlier.
However, it is not the download link for scorecards scheduled to be released on Thursday. Rather, the link available on the NTA website for revised scorecards is old and was activated after the result of the re-test for 1,563 candidates were announced, requiring all candidates to download their mark sheets again.
Earlier on Tuesday, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had said that the revised NEET-UG scores would be shared in two days.
Mr. Pradhan on X replied to Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge’s critical comments on NEET-UG paper leak, stating that after the Congress government came to power in Rajasthan, there were instances of multiple paper leaks. “Our government wants to ensure zero-error and tamper-proof exams. This is the reason why a few exams have been stalled and postponed,” Mr. Pradhan said.
