NEET UG 2024: Top Ranks Reduced from 61 to 17 After Revised Results, To Which State the Toppers Belong?

The National Testing Agency (NTA) released the final results for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) 2024 on Friday. This year, 17 students achieved the top rank with a perfect score of 720, translating to a pass percentile of 99.9992714. Initially, 67 students were tied for All India Rank 1, but this number decreased following the withdrawal of grace marks and a retest for 1,563 students.

A decision rendered by the Supreme Court resulted in the cancellation of grace marks for a wrong Physics question, which caused several rankers to lose their Rank 1 position. About 24,06,079 individuals registered for this year's NEET UG exam; 23,33,297 of them showed up to take the test, while 72,782 did not.
