NEET Result 2019 Declared: Nalin Khandelwal from Rajasthan is all-India topper of NEET 2019; check results on ntaneet.nic.in

NEET Result 2019 Declared | The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced the NEET 2019 Result today (Wednesday, 5 June) on the official website ntaneet.nic.in. Nalin Khandelwal from Rajasthan emerged the all-India topper with 701 marks out of 720. Delhi’s Bhavik Bansal bagged the second rank with 700 marks. Although Akshat Kaushik from Uttar Pradesh also scored 700 marks, he came in third. In case of a tie for a rank, the inter-se merit is calculated to assign the candidates a rank in the all-India merit list. The NEET candidate who obtains higher marks in biology (botany and zoology) in the test is given preference, followed by the candidate who scores higher marks in chemistry, followed by the candidate with the fewer number of attempted incorrect answers in all the subjects in the NEET. The last criteria to decide the ranks in case of a tie is the candidate’s age — the older the candidate, the higher the preference.

The exam was also held on 20 May in Karnataka for hundreds of candidates who missed NEET 2019 on 5 May after the Hampi Express took a 120-kilometre longer route from North Karnataka to Bengaluru. Students had to reach their exam centres by 1.30 pm, but the train reached the station at 2.30 pm. The Indian Railways had written to the Ministry of Human Resource Development to have NTA conduct NEET 2019 for these candidates again.
