Following the declaration of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2021 results, students have claimed that the results have various errors and that the scores don’t match the answer key provided earlier.
Students claim their marks as calculated by them on the basis of the answer key and the original result varies by a considerable margin. They have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #NEETscam and #NEETResult2021 to post their grievances.
Few students have also raised objections over receiving two ranks on their scorecards of the medical entrance exam. One of the students told Hindustan Times, “On every scorecard, NTA has mentioned the all-India rank obtained— both overall rank and the rank for counselling — for every student. In my case, there two different ranks awarded to me are for the counselling process itself, which is confusing.”
The NTA has, however, said that this year the All India Rank (AIR) considered during counselling will be different from the ranks released by the agency. The agency has dropped the age criteria from ranking but the MCC continues to consider the same, hence the NTA and MCC will be considering separate ranks.
Students concerns are also rising because of several controversies related to the medical entrance test. The NEET 2021 was marred by various controversies including an alleged paper leak to an impersonator racket.
