NEET 2017: Result this week, students await 8 marks for ambiguous questions

Experts are of the view that the extra 8 marks for ambiguous questions should be given. This could be the reason behind the delay.

They pointed towards the ambiguity of the questions and that the answers could not be calculated correctly by the students as the questions did not clearly provide the requisite information. Students and parents had also raised this issue before various High Courts where they had filed petitions.

The result process was set in motion by the CBSE after it was permitted to declare the results by the Supreme Court earlier this week. The CBSE had said recently that it would need two weeks to declare the results.

The OMR challenge and the answer keys were made available on the board's website last week.
