Over 15 lakh candidates await NEET 2020 result: 

This year, as many as 15.93 lakh candidates had registered for the examination. Though exact number of students who appeared is not available, it was shared that nearly 85-90 per cent students appeared for the examination conducted by NTA on September 13. 

NEET Phase 2 exams?

The candidates who missed the exams after testing positive for COVID-19 are most likely to get another opportunity to sit for the test, the date for which will be announced later, according to officials. NTA has reportedly asked for representations from students. However, there is no fresh update about conducting of NEET 2020 phase 2 exams for candidates who could appear due to the coronavirus pandemic.

NEET 2020 All-India Quota (AIQ) and State-wise Quota:

The NTA has reserved 15 per cent of seats under AIQ which include seats at government colleges (except in Jammu and Kashmir), central and deemed universities, IP quota or seats reserved for wards of insured persons in Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) medical colleges, and at the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) Pune.

NEET 2020 cut-off marks:

NEET 2020 cut-off is expected to be higher this year as the number of test-takers was more, students and coaching centres got more time to prepare and the exam was comparatively easy.

As per NTA’s minimum qualifying criteria, candidates under General/unreserved category require at least 50th percentile points to clear the entrance test, while those under reserved categories require the qualifying NEET marks and a minimum of 40th percentile points.

"The NEET 2020 results, like the JEE Mains 2020 results should not take much time as NEET is the only entrance examination for medical and dental college admissions - and the counselling divided between central and states makes it a long process. The coronavirus pandemic has already had a devastating impact on the academic calendar. The delay in the results will lead to delay in counselling, admissions, and eventually, starting the semester. Since another round of NEET 2020 is to be held for the candidates who had missed the exams after testing positive for COVID-19 it is going to be a long procedure and everything should be done within a set period to avoid unnecessary delay," Gaurav Tyagi, Founder of Career Xpert told PNN.

The NTA had released the OMR sheet on October 5 and has also provided an option to challenge responses. The facility to challenge the NEET OMR answer sheets was available from October 5 to October 7 (6 pm). For every question challenged, candidates were required to pay a sum of Rs 1000 online as the processing fee. The payment was to be made up to 8 pm on October 7, 2020, through Debit/credit card/net banking.

Till last year, students were given the opportunity to raise objections as soon as the answer was issued. This year, there is a slight change. Candidates who appeared for NEET 2020 exam, should note that a notice regarding challenging the keys will be released later.

NEET exams 2020 were concluded on September 13 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Around 15.97 lakhs aspirants registered for the NEET exam 2020. Out of total registered aspirants, over 13 lakhs aspirants have appeared, as per education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’.

NEET is one of the highest competitive exams, opening opportunities for students to get into the most prestigious medical colleges.
