NEET 2020: When a topper was declared failed

New Delhi, Oct 20: The National Testing Agency (NTA) recently declared a topper as failed in the NEET 2020 exam.

Mridul Rawat who had failed the NEET 2020 as per the first mark sheet issued by the NTA actually emerged as an all India topper in the ST category. Mridul challenged the result and after rechecking the OMR sheet and answer key it was found that he is an all India topper in the ST category.

He spotted the mistake in the second mark sheet issued by the NTA. In the second mark sheet, the sum of his marks showed 650, but only three hundred twenty nine were written in words. He told Zee Media that he cleared all his doubts during this period as there was extra time.
