National Testing Agency, NTA declared NEET Result on October 16 in which a serious blunder happened by the Agency when a NEET aspirant who failed in the medical entrance exam, turned out to be NEET Topper 2020 in the ST category. After the category topper raised concerns over his marks, the Agency came to rescue to reverify his marks.
Mridul Rawat, a 17-year-old NEET aspirant from Gangapur town of Sawai Madhopur district in Rajasthan was shocked to see 329 marks out of 720 on his result sheet. As per his calculations on the basis of the answer key, he scored 650. Mridul challenged the result before the Agency on the basis of his recorded response OMR sheet and answer key. He also raised the concern in a tweet to NTA.

Soon after the tweet, NTA started the rechecking process. However, after reverifying & rechecking, it turned out that Mridul has secured 650 out of 720 marks in NEET Result 2020. While speaking to HT, Mridul said, “My despair turned into delightful surprise today when NTA today accepted its mistake and released corrected result sheet in which I got 650 marks and was adjuged All India Topper of NEET 2020 in Scheduled Tribe category.
