As students awaited the NEET 2020 results on Monday, the Supreme Court directed that students, who could not appear in National Eligibility cum Entrance Test because of COVID-19 or due to being stuck in containment zones, be given the chance to appear in the test on October 14. And thus the results will be declared on October 16, 2020.  

The National Testing Agency (NTA) was scheduled to announce the results by 1 pm on Monday before the SC directive. NEET 2020 was conducted on September 13, 2020, for admissions to 80,005 MBBS in 542 medical colleges, 26,949 BDS in 313 colleges, 52,720 AYUSH in 914 colleges plus BVSc and AH seats in various colleges across India. This year, NEET All India counselling will be inclusive of 1205 AIIMS MBBS and 200 JIPMER MBBS seats as these institutes are now part of the NEET process. Around 13 lakh candidates appeared for the examination held in pen and paper mode on September 13. 

The NEET 2020 results will be made available for students on October 16 through an activated link on the NTA’s official website ntaneet.nic.in along with the final answer key and cut-off. After the declaration of NEET 2020 result, the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) will conduct NEET counselling for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats. Reservation for the 85 per cent seat quota seats is subject to policies of each state.
