Is the NEET 2024 Result a Scam? Every NEET aspirant is worried after the release of the NEET 2024 results yesterday. The article below explains why some people think NEET is a scam and includes a clarification from NTA for students.
The NEET exam is generally considered one of the toughest exams. In 2023, only two students scored 720 marks, while in 2022, four students achieved this score. However, in 2024, 67 students scored 720 marks, including 6-7 students from the same exam center.
Ok let’s considered this as a coincidence and attributed to diligent study, the ranking raises questions. The second-ranked student scored 719 marks and the third-ranked student scored 718 marks. This seems mathematically impossible. NEET has a total of 180 questions, with each correct answer earning 4 marks and each wrong answer deducting 1 mark. Therefore, 180 correct answers would yield 720 marks. With 179 correct answers, a student should get 716 marks. If a question is not attempted, the score remains 716; if answered incorrectly, the score would be 715. Thus, scores of 719 and 718 do not align with the marking scheme.
The NEET 2024 results have caused controversy with accusations of cheating, concerns about grace marks for lost time, and suspicions of question paper leaks, all of which question the exam’s fairness. Despite the NTA denying any leaks, reports of a consultancy helping students pay to pass the exam have raised more doubts.
Students with scores above 650 are worried that their high marks won’t be enough to get into government medical colleges. Parents are also questioning how the NTA has handled the situation. To restore confidence in the NEET exam, transparency and clear communication from the NTA are crucial. The article below explains why people believe the NEET 2024 results are a scam and includes the NTA’s clarification. No clarity given how grace marks are added.
NEET Cheating 2024
A serious issue has come up involving a cheating scam. Parshuram Roy, who owns a foreign education consultancy, and Tushar Bhatt, a school teacher, along with at least 16 students from Gujarat, are accused of cheating. These people supposedly paid Rs 10 lakh each to pass the NEET exam fraudulently
This scam has damaged the trust in the NEET UG 2024 results. The involvement of education professionals and the large amounts of money involved have raised serious worries about widespread cheating and corruption in the exams.
In Bihar, 13 people including four examine es were arrested involvement in the NEET 2024 paper leak. During the investigation, Bihar police EOU ( Economic Offences Unit) revealed that brokers involved in the NEET paper leak scam took 30-50lakhs from each aspirant in exchange of giving them the question paper of the NEET 2024.

NTA Clarification on NEET 2024 Result Scam:
The NTA has briefly addressed the complaints and lawsuits about the NEET 2024 exam. They said on social media that they know about the issues reported by students, including losing exam time on May 5, 2024. To fix this, they used a normalization formula from the Honorable Apex Court, which gave some students extra marks, resulting in scores of 718 or 719.
But, the NTA has not fully addressed the claims of cheating and question paper leaks. Many people are still worried and want more assurance about the fairness of the exam.
