New Delhi, [Date]: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the centre and city-wise results for the NEET-UG medical entrance examination on Saturday, adhering to directives from the Supreme Court amidst allegations of irregularities.
Initially announced on June 5, the results have now been made public in a revised format as per the Supreme Court’s orders. The apex court is currently examining multiple petitions regarding alleged malpractices during the exam, including concerns over paper leaks.
