New Delhi. The Union Education Ministry has presented its side after the NTA made the NEET UG result public. According to the Central Government, this time the result has been different from the traditional result. The Central Government has claimed that unlike every time, students from all over the country have passed the NEET UG exam and not just a few selected centers of the country.
A total of 23.33 lakh students appeared for NEET 2024. Out of these, 2321 students scored 700 or more marks. These students were spread across 1,404 centres across the country and abroad. These 1404 centres were again spread across 276 cities and 25 states/union territories. Such a large spread shows that many candidates who were not from traditional tuition hubs were also able to make it to the list of toppers in NEET 2024.
The government accepted that there are more toppers from some places
The Central Government has admitted that it is true that many students coming from traditional tuition hubs like Sikar, Kota and Kottayam were able to score 700 or more marks. However, the good thing is that many students coming from other cities were also able to come in this bracket. For example, 35 students from Lucknow, 27 students from Kolkata, 25 students from Latur, 20 students from Nagpur, 19 from Faridabad, 18 from Nanded, 17 from Indore, 16 each from Cuttack and Kanpur, 14 each from Kolhapur, Noida, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, 13 each from Agra and Aligarh, 10 each from Akola and Patiala, 8 from Davanagere, 7 from Banaskantha etc. students managed to score 700 or more marks. It appears that integrating the NEET syllabus with the higher secondary syllabus is starting to yield results.
What is the government’s data analysis
Similar observations are available for other marks ranges as well. For example, in NEET 2024:
Candidates scoring between 650 to 699 are spread across 509 cities and 4044 centres.
Candidates scoring between 600 to 649 are spread across 540 cities and 4484 centres.
Candidates scoring between 550 to 599 are spread across 548 cities and 4563 centres.
The following shows the rank-wise spread of NEET 2024 results:
Candidates between rank 1 to 100 are spread across 56 cities and 95 centres
Candidates between rank 101 to 1000 spread across 187 cities and 706 centres
Candidates between rank 1001 to 10000 spread across 431 cities and 2959 centers
Candidates between 10001 to 50000 rank spread across 523 cities and 4283 centers
Candidates between 50001 to 110000 rank spread across 546 cities and 4542 centers
Candidates between rank 110000 to 150000 are spread across 539 cities and 4470 centres.
In NEET 2023, this spread was slightly less than that in NEET 2024. In NEET 2023, it was like this:
Candidates scoring between 700 to 720 spread across 116 cities and 310 centres
Candidates scoring between 650 to 699 spread across 381 cities and 2431 centres
Candidates scoring between 600 to 649 are spread across 464 cities and 3434 centres.
