The counsel for students said, “The invigilator mixed the copy. I had written wrong answers to the questions in haste. They were attempted in hurry & this was told to the HC. It was like a common order passed & there was no grievance made by the NTA”

The NTA on Monday sought an urgent hearing in the top court on its plea against the high court stay order.

The Bombay high court had also directed that the NTA give 48 hours clear notice to the petitioners about the date of NEET re-exam and the test centre allotted to them.

The NTA will announce the result on the official website -neet.nta.nic.in- soon. However, NEET result 2021 date and time is yet to be notified by the NTA. The result of NEET 2021 will be announced in the form of a scorecard,which can be downloaded using the application number, date of birth, password and security pin.
