813 of 1,563 candidates granted grace marks in NEET-UG appeared for a retest following a Supreme Court order. The retest was due to time loss at six centers.

In the wake of a Supreme Court order, 813 out of 1,563 candidates who received grace marks in the NEET-UG examination appeared for a retest on Sunday. This retest was necessitated following the delayed start of exams at six centers on May 5.
A senior official from the National Testing Agency (NTA) confirmed that roughly 52 percent of those eligible appeared for the retest. The move comes amid ongoing controversies around alleged irregularities in the medical entrance exam.
In addition, the NTA has barred 17 candidates from Bihar who took the exam on May 5. This measure follows the debarment of 63 candidates earlier for cheating. On Saturday, 30 more candidates from Godhara, Gujarat, were also disqualified.
