The National Testing Agency released the results of the NEET-UG medical entrance exam on Saturday, categorizing them by city and exam center. The exam has made headlines recently due to alleged issues like paper leaks.
Data analysis showed that centers where irregularities were reported didn't see high scores, but some centers had many top-performing students.
The release of this data was followed by a Supreme Court order, as the court considers various petitions regarding these issues. Many students are awaiting the court's decision on what will happen with the exam results.
