NEET 2024 EXPECTED CUTOFF FOR ALL STATES
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has made the NEET UG 2024 scorecards and OMR answer sheets available on the Umang and DigiLocker platforms. This allows for easier and faster access to important exam documents.
NTA published the updated NEET 2024 scorecard, merit list, and final answer keys on July 26, 2024. This update followed the Supreme Court’s decision to remove the bonus 4 marks awarded for a disputed Physics question in the NEET 2024 exam. The revised merit list showed the qualifying candidates along with their new AIR, scores, and percentiles, indicating that the number of top scorers has dropped to 17. Additionally, the NEET 2024 cutoff was lowered by two marks for each category. The Supreme Court also confirmed that there will be no re-exam for NEET 2024, and the original exam remains valid since the paper leak was not extensive. NTA has disqualified 135 candidates for using unfair methods.
