The National Testing Agency (NTA) recently wrongly stated that a topper failed the NEET 2020 result. The student named Mridul Rawat, who was declared a failed NEET 2020 according to the first grade sheet issued by NTA, came out as All India Topper in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category after reverification.
Mridul told HT that “based on my scores on the NTA results, I had pretty much failed NEET 2020 as I wouldn’t get any medical school with those scores.”
“I cried and got depressed because I was sure I would beat NEET with 650 points, but NEET’s result broke my heart.”
Mridul challenged the first result, and after rechecking his OMR sheet and answer key, he was found to be an All India Topper in the ST category.
I tweeted to NTA after which the correction was made, he said.
“My despair turned into a delicious surprise today when NTA accepted their mistake and published a corrected score sheet in which I scored 650 points and I was ranked NEET 2020 All India Topper in the Scheduled Tribe category,” he told HT.
My overall All India Rank is 3577, he said.
