NEET 2020 Result Correct, NTA Slams Media for Running Fake News

Slamming the media for running fake news, NTA assures the candidates that NEET 2020 results announced on October 16 are correct.

In an official notification, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has assured that the NEET 2020 result announced on October 16 is absolutely correct. NTA stated that the result for NEET 2020 was prepared after thorough scrutiny and that there are no errors in it.

A recent media report claimed that a certain candidate with 329 marks challenged the NEET 2020 result, following which his marks were revised to 650. Referring to this news, NTA has clearly stated that no such incident has happened. The notification read, ‘The news is totally fake, fabricated and one sided only. The news channel should have confirmed from NTA before broadcasting this fake news’.

In the same notification, NTA has mentioned that students/parents have been sending emails regarding errors in the answers marked on the OMR sheets on the exam day and the ones available online. Concerns have also been raised regarding the variation in the scorecard released on October 16 and the one available now. NTA has assured that all genuine grievances will be addressed in time.
