The National Testing Agency (NTA) is re-evaluating NEET-UG exam scores due to allegations of irregularities and inflated marks, according to reports. Six of the top 67 scorers may lose 60-70 points after removing “grace marks” awarded for time loss during the exam, particularly affecting a center in Jhajjar, Haryana. This comes before a Supreme Court hearing on July 8, following NTA’s decision to scrap grace marks for 1,563 candidates and offer them a retest on June 23.
