The National Testing Agency (NTA) has declared the NEET UG Result 2024 at https:// exams.nta.ac.in/NEET/. Among the 67 candidates who achieved a perfect score (720/720) in the NEET-UG results, nearly 44 reached the top due to an ironic twist.
They answered a basic physics question incorrectly and received “grace marks” for it. Their incorrect answer to a basic physics question was based on an erroneous reference in their old Class 12 NCERT science textbook, leading to them receiving “grace marks.”
Over the past few years, specifically from 2019 up till now, there haven’t been more than three toppers. There was a single topper each year for 2019 and 2020. In 2021, there were three toppers, followed by one topper in 2022, and two toppers in 2023. This year, a multiple- choice question in Physics about atoms turned out to be a high-scoring point for many students.
The National Testing Agency conducted the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (UG) for more than 24 lakh candidates at 4750 different Centres located in 571 Cities throughout the country including 14 Cities outside India on May 5 from 02:00 PM to 05:20 PM
