The much awaiting results of NEET has been declared by NTA of this year’s exam on Wednesday night. This year, interestingly 4 students scored same marks and percentile scores that is 715 marks or 99.99 percentile.
However , out of 4 students tanishka from Rajasthan has been announced as topper of exam.
The same was observed in 2020 as well, when 2 students perfect 720/720 marks but the former was given AIR 1 due to his age following the NTA’s tie-breaking policy. Back then, the ultimate rule for breaking ties was to give a better rank to the candidate who is older in age. This, however, changed last year. NTA had removed the age rule from the tie-breaking policy and as a result 3 students who scored 720/720 were named toppers.
In 2022, NTA again made modifications to the tie-breaking rules. Now, if 2 or more candidates secure same marks in the exam, ties between them are resolved in this order:
a. Candidate obtaining higher marks/percentile score in Biology (Botany & Zoology) in the test is given priority, followed by
b. Candidate obtaining higher marks/percentile score in Chemistry in the Test, followed by,
c. Candidate obtaining higher marks/percentile score in Physics in the Test, followed by,
d. Candidate with less proportion of the number of attempted incorrect answers and correct answers in all the subjects in the Test,
e. Candidate with less proportion of a number of attempted incorrect answers and correct answers in Biology (Botany & Zoology)
f. Candidate with less proportion of a number of attempted incorrect answers and correct answers in Chemistry, followed by
g. Candidate with less proportion of a number of attempted incorrect answers and correct answers in Physics, followed by
h. Candidate older in age, followed by
i. Application number in ascending order.
