New Delhi: More than 75 NEET-UG candidates from each centre in Rajasthan’s Sikar have scored above 600 marks, with the figure going up to 150 at some centres. According to an analysis of the centre-wise result for medical entrance, the average of candidates scoring above 600 in Sikar is much higher than the national average. For instance, at a centre in Aravali Public School, more than 90 of the 942 candidates scored above 600 and seven above 700.

Similarly, in Mody Institute of Technology Centre, more than 110 candidates scored above 600. The number was above 75 in Vishwa Bharti PG College Centre and same was the case for Tagore PG College. The number of scorers above 600 in Aryan PG College Centre is 90, 85 in Sunrise International School, 94 in BPS Convent School, 132 in Gurukul International School and 115 in Shri Mangal Chand Diwaniya Vidya Centre. More than 27,000 candidates appeared at examination centres in Sikar, out of which more than 4,200 scored above 600.

A total of 30,204 students scored 650 or above – 1.3 per cent of the 23.22 lakh candidates across the country. These candidates would be in the top 30,000 and have a chance of getting a seat in government medical colleges. Of this group, examinees from Sikar alone have a chance of claiming 2,037 seats. At two other centres in Sikar, 150 candidates and 83 candidates have scored more than 600.

The results, which were initially announced on June 5, have been published in this form following an order from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is currently hearing several petitions alleging irregularities in the conduct of the exam, including leaking of papers.

The exam was held on May 5 in 4,750 centres in 571 cities, including 14 cities abroad, for more than 2.4 million candidates.

The court had ordered that the results be announced without revealing the identities of the candidates, as it sought to establish whether candidates who allegedly went to unreliable centres had scored more than those who took the exam elsewhere.

The Supreme Court will resume hearing oral arguments on July 22 on a series of requests seeking cancellation, a new exam and a court-supervised investigation into allegations of malpractice at the prestigious exam.
