Tie-Breaking Criteria for NEET 2024:The NTA has revised the tie-breaking criteria for the NEET 2024 examination. With the release of the NEET 2024 application form and the information bulletin by NTA, the new policy was revealed. The application process for the NEET started on Feb 9, 2024, and the last date for the application is Mar 16, 2024. Furthermore, the correction window will open from March 18- 20 to give a chance to rectify errors made in the application form.
The new policy is based on the four factors which form the base of the tie. The policy will evaluate the performance of the candidate and the qualifications to break the tie. In this article, we will learn about the new tie-breaking policy by NTA.
Tie-breaking Criteria for NEET 2024
After releasing the application form and information bulletin NTA has also proposed the NEET 2024 tie-breaking criteria. The NEET 2024 exam will take place on May 5, 2024, as per the NTA notifications. In NEET 2023, the tie-breaking is done on the grounds of marks attained in biology, followed by chemistry and physics. Furthermore, negative marks and age are used to award the rank if the tie remains. However, NMC has now revised the tie-braking rules for the NEET 2024 examination.
Revised Tie-breaking Rule
Earlier this year, NMC decided to adopt a new policy for tie-breaking stating: “the inter-se-merit of the candidate for tie-breaking when both have attained same marks is as follows:
- The candidate obtained the highest marks in biology, followed by,
- The candidate obtained the highest marks in chemistry, followed by,
- The Candidate obtained the highest marks in physics, followed by,
- The lottery system is by computer without any human intervention.”
But when the application form and information bulletin were out, NTA reverted its decision to change the tie-breaking policy and again moved to the old policy.
Now, the tie-breaking criteria of the NEET 2024 states that: “if two or more candidates score equal percentile or marks in NEET 2024 exam the following criteria will be used to determine the rank:
- The candidate obtained more marks in biology, followed by,
- The candidate obtained more marks in chemistry, followed by,
- The candidate obtained more marks in physics, followed by,
- The proportion of the number of correct answers and incorrect answers in biology,
- The proportion of the number of correct and incorrect answers in chemistry,
- The proportion of the number of correct and incorrect answers in physics.”
Until NEET 2020 age criteria were also considered under tie-breaking rules, but it was eliminated in the information bulletin of NEET 2021. The older candidate will get the higher rankings.
