NEW DELHI: At 213 marks, NEET-UG recorded its highest ever qualifying cutoff, even as the number of candidates clearing the medical entrance examination fell by 1.15 lakh, a divergence driven by a smaller-appearing pool and a sharp upward shift in the score distribution. Moreover, the total qualified candidates for EWS and OBC for the first time breached 60% of their 'appeared' cohort, and the percentage of unreserved qualifiers now rests below 50%.

The highest score of 715 out of 720 in the examination was obtained jointly by Aryan Gupta (Punjab) and Panshul Bansal (Haryana). | India News

The NEET UG re-exam was held on June 21 after the exam held on May 3 was cancelled over alleged paper leak. | India News
