The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the much-awaited result for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2020 on Friday at 4:30 pm. The result included both September 13 and October 14 attempts. The official NTA website to check the NEET results was overloaded. Complaints of students not being able to check their results flooded social media. The NEET scorecard will be available shortly at ntaneet.nic.in.

This year, over 14.37 lakh candidates appeared for the medical entrance exam on September 13 despite the COVID-19. The results were scheduled to be announced on October 14 at first but the Supreme Court changed the declaration date to October 16 allowing students, who couldn't appear earlier to take the exam.

Candidates can check their results at NTA's official website nta.ac.in or ntaneet.nic.in. Students will have to enter their roll number mentioned on the admit card to check the result.

Those who have secured 50 percentile or above are considered successful, however, seats in medical and dental colleges are offered based on merit-based counselling. The counselling will be held by the National Medical Commission (NMC) which has now replaced the Medical Council of India (MCI). NTA, along with NEET-UG result, has released the final answer key.
