NEET Result Date — What Really Happened Till Now?

• NEET 2020 was conducted on 13th September 2020. As many as 15.97 lakh candidates registered for the prestigious medical entrance exam.
• Unfortunately, only 88% of the registered candidates could appear for the exam on 13th September 2020, due to various reasons related to COVID-19.
• Initially, the result was scheduled to be announced on 12th October 2020. However NTA came to a conclusion that it would be unfair to the absentees of NEET 2020, who missed out on the opportunity to appear for the exam. These candidates were generally from quarantine zones and COVID-positive zones.
• Therefore, NTA, on 12th October 2020, wrote to the Supreme Court to conduct the NEET phase 2 exam for such candidates and it was approved by the “Supreme judicial body of Government of India”.
• Finally, NTA made last-minute amends in their policy and conducted the NEET Phase 2 exam on 14th October 2020.
• The combined result of the NEET phase 1 and NEET phase 2 exam will shortly be announced today at around 4 pm.
