The National Testing Agency (NTA) will release the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET 2021) results soon. The NEET 2021 exam was held on September 12 in the centre-based pen and paper mode. The result of NEET 2021 along with the merit list and all India cut-off marks will be announced after NEET phase 2 registration ends on October 13. For admission to undergraduate (UG) medical and allied programmes in the country, the NEET cut-off is the last rank for which the admission to the medical institutes will be offered.
The NTA will also send NEET OMR response sheets and scorecards to candidates via email after closing the NEET Phase 2 registration and correction window.
“The Candidates are strongly advised to check, cross-check, and verify their registered e-mail address and ensure that it is their own e-mail address only as NTA will be sending the scanned copy of the OMR Answer Sheet and Scorecard to the registered e-mail address,” the NTA said.
