Why was NEET-UG 2024 held again?

NEET-UG 2024 was held again after the initial results were announced. Two of the top six scorers received scores of 718 and 719 due to grace marks, causing significant turmoil nationwide. These irregularities sparked massive protests by students and various organizations, ultimately compelling the NTA to issue a clarification. The NTA explained that 1,563 candidates from six centers were given the wrong papers, and some candidates received torn OMR sheets, which resulted in them being awarded grace marks for the lost time.
