Today, the National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the NEET UG 2024 final and revised scorecard. The scorecard can be viewed online on their official website: https://exams.nta.ac.in/NEET/. Dharmendra Pradhan, the Education Minister, has confirmed that the revised results will be announced within the next two days. The Medical Counseling Committee (MCC), which is responsible for allotting seats for MBBS, BDS and BSc Nursing to aspiring students, is expected to release the official NEET UG 2024 schedule for counselling soon.
The NEET UG 2024 entrance examination, which was held on May 5th, ran into allegations for discrepancies in scoring. To ensure a fair test, and address the concerns revolving ‘grace marks’ allocated to the students, a retest was conducted on the 23rd of June. 1,563 candidates were affected by the process. Out of these, only 813 candidates chose to appear for the retest, while the rest, which amounts to 48%, decided to move on with their initial scores including the ‘grace marks’.
As per several media reports, the number of top scorers in the test went down from 67 to 61. The revised merit list can be found on their official website.
Soon, it is expected that the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will release an exhaustive schedule for NEET UG 2024 counseling on their official website: [https://mcc.nic.in/](https://mcc.nic.in/). In addition to this, they will also publish on their website an information bulletin which details the entire counselling process.
The schedule released by MCC will comprise important information on registration dates, required documents, eligibility and the number of counselling rounds.
To be eligible for the 2024 NEET UG counselling round, you must qualify the entrance exam first. You must secure the minimum percentile set by the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). The cut-off set by NEET may vary and be different for students belonging to SC/ST/OBC. In addition to this, candidates must possess valid documents including a 10+2 certification, with Physics, Chemistry and Biology as the core subjects.
You can find the information on the specific documents required for the counselling on MCC’s official website. However, to ease the process for you, here are the common documents that you'll be requiring:
Candidates need to register online on the official MCC website within the timeframe specified. As a candidate, you will need to provide their NEET UG registration number and roll number, among other details.
After registering, you can choose the courses and colleges that you desire. Make your choice based on their rank, the number of seats available and other preferences. You need to lock the choices to finalize this section and move to the next round.
After this, the MCC will allocate seats to candidates based on their rank, their choices, and the availability of seats in colleges.
If you have been selected for a particular college, then you need to report there within the specified timeframe. During this process, you will be completing admission formalities, submitting some necessary documents and paying the fees.
