Compensatory Marks Awarded by NTA

The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conduct the exam, awarded compensatory marks to 1,563 students after receiving concerns about the loss of time during the conduct of examination.

Moreover, the NTA had to reward compensatory marks to the students because of irregularities between old NCERT and new NCERT books. The NTA prepared the question paper using new NCERT books, however, students with access to old NCERT books had opted for the choice which was partially true in the new NCERT books. To compensate this irregularity, the NTA has to offer five marks to all the students. Because of this, a total of 44 students’ marks tally increased from 715 to 720, resulting in 67 toppers in the medical entrance exam.

NEET-UG was conducted on May 5 at 4,750 centers in 571 cities, including 14 outside India.
