NEET PG 2024 Results Spark Controversy As Candidates Allege Major Discrepancies In Normalisation Process

Candidates allege discrepancies in NEET PG 2024 results, citing improper normalisation and demanding that NBE release the raw and normalised scores along with the official answer key.

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) announced the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) results on August 23, 2024. Following the release, some candidates have alleged discrepancies in their results. They claim that due to improper normalisation, their ranks are significantly lower than expected. Many students have compared their answers with unofficial answer keys provided by coaching institutes. These students are dissatisfied with their marks and are demanding that the NBE release the raw and normalised marks, as well as the official answer key.

Talking to ABP LIVE Dr. Ayush said, "I was expecting a score around 480-490 based on calculations from various sources, but I received a rank of 37,000. Last year, with the same marks, my rank was 18,000-19,000. This year’s paper was more difficult, so I anticipated a rank of around 15,000. This feels like a big scam."

An aspirant Niteesh said, "I was planning to retake the NEET exam anyway, but what's shocking is the rank inflation compared to last year's trends. Based on answer keys from multiple sources, I had 115-120 correct answers out of 170 attempted questions, but my rank is 1.45 lakh. Even with increased competition, my rank should have been less than 75,000, but it has doubled."

"My rank is much lower than expected compared to the previous 2-3 years. I want NBE to release the raw score and normalised score and an official answer key," Aafaq said. 

Another aspirant Charishma said, "Based on the unofficial answer key, I was expecting a rank below 35,000, but unfortunately, I received a rank three times higher than expected. I know many candidates from the second shift who scored better ranks with lower scores. I don't believe the normalisation process was fair. We have invested more than a year into NEET PG, dealing with preponements and pattern changes, and now the results are messed up as well. We're all stuck, and we need a fair exam."

Notably, before the exam, students were demanding that it be conducted in a single shift, fearing improper normalization. Now that the results have been declared, students have raised concerns about the normalization process.

NEET PG 2024 exam was conducted by the NBEMS across 416 centers in 170 cities. The students who qualify the examination will have the opportunity to secure admission to 26,168 Doctor of Medicine (MD), 13,649 Master of Surgery (MS), 922 PG Diploma, and 1,338 DNB CET seats.

NEET PG is an entrance exam conducted every year in a computer-based format for admission to various MD (Doctor of Medicine), MS (Master of Surgery), and PG Diploma courses across India.
