NEET Tie Breaking Policy 2024 - New Tie Breaking Criteria for NEET 2024

The tie-breaking criteria is an important factor and can decide the fate of many candidates. In the event of a tie in NEET-UG 2024 marks, the respective marks obtained in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics will be considered in that order. If the tie remains even after this, eligible candidates will be chosen based on their number of incorrect and correct responses in NEET 2024 exam.

Earlier on its previous NEET 2024 information bulletin, NTA had introduced a computer-generated random draw, without any human intervention in place of the incorrect and correct responses. But, on March 13 NTA released the revised information bulletin of NEET 2024, mentioning the revised NEET 2024 tie-breaking criteria. Read the full article to know all the details regarding the NEET tie breaking policy 2024.

NEET new tie breaking policy 2024

The National Testing Agency has mentioned the NEET 2024 tie breaking rules in its revised information bulletin. This criteria will be applicable in case there is a tie in scores of two or more candidates. The detailed explanation of this NEET 2024 tie breaking policy is as follows -

Marks in Biology: In case there is a tie in total marks obtained in the NEET 2024 exam, the candidate with higher marks in Biology will be given the preference. As NEET UG is primarily meant for medical admissions, this criterion ensures that candidates with a stronger foundation in biological sciences are given an advantage.
Marks in Chemistry: After Biology, the next determining factor is the marks obtained in the Chemistry section. Candidates with higher marks in this subject are given preference in the tie-breaking process.
Marks in Physics: If the tie still exists, then the candidate having higher marks in Physics will be given preference.
Less incorrect answer in overall exam: If the tie still exists, then the candidate with lesser number of incorrect answers in the overall NEET 2024 exam will be given preference
Less incorrect answer in Biology: If the tie still persists, then the candidate with the lesser number of incorrect responses in Biology will be preferred.
Less incorrect answer in Chemistry: In case the tie still exists, then the candidate with less incorrect answers in Chemistry will be given preference.
Less incorrect answer in Physics: If the tie still exists, then finally the candidate with lesser number of incorrect answers in Physics will be placed higher in the NEET 2024 merit list.

Controversies related to NEET tie-breaking policy

There have been many controversies regarding the NEET tie-breaking criteria in the past. Until 2023 there used to be an age factor in NEET tie-breaking criteria. The candidate with the higher age used to get the preference in case of a tie in the marks in subjects.

In 2023, the National Medical Commission (NMC) released a notification on June 13, 2023 stating the new NEET tie breaking policy in the Gazette of India and changed the subjects preference order to Physics, Chemistry, and Biology from the NTA’s preference order of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. As per the information bulletin of NEET 2024, the NTA has mentioned the order of subjects for tie-breaking criteria in the order of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

In 2024, the NEET tie breaking policy 2024 remains the centre of attention. The NTA released the NEET 2024 information bulletin on February 9, and removed the incorrect and correct answer factor from its tie breaking policy. In place of it, the NTA introduced a computerised draw to decide the NEET 2024 tie breaking criteria. However, on March 9, 2024, NTA extended the NEET registration window and uploaded the revised information bulletin. Now as per the latest information bulletin, the computerised draw has been removed from the NEET 2024 tie breaking policy.

Note: Even though the National Medical Commission in its notification released in 2023 stated that the subject order preference will be Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, the NTA in its NEET 2024 information bulletin has mentioned the subject order preference as Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. This might need clarification among the candidates. The aspirants are advised to consider the tie-breaking criteria of the NTA as of now. Any update regarding this will be provided in this article from time to time.

NEET 2024 revised tie-breaking policy age factor

Till 2023, the age of the candidate used to be one of the factors for resolving the tie. If there exists a tie even after considering the marks obtained in Physics, Chemistry and Biology, the candidate with higher age used to have the upper edge. This is how the NEET 2020 topper was decided.

The National Medical Commission in 2023 released a notification and revised the NEET tie breaking policy and removed the age factor. The age factor no longer exists and will not be considered in NEET 2024 tie breaking policy.

Questions related to NEET

Have a question related to NEET ?

Can we register for neet without orginal documents but with attested ones??

Hello,

Hope you are doing well, you can register for NEET with attested copies of your documents during the online application process, but you will need to present the original documents for verification when you are allotted a college seat and during the admission process.

The attested documents must be signed by the gazetted officer while filling the application form of NEET.

Hope this will clear your confusion...

Im in a private medical college in kerala doing MBBS.I want to write neet again to get into another college.What will be the bond penalty fees?If so is there concession for sc category?

If you want to leave your present MBBS college to join another college by taking NEET again, you will likely face a bond penalty fee which is near about 5 lakh to 40 lakh rupees in case of Kerala state medical college you can confirm the actual amount of penalty from college of yours.

and yes, there is usually a concession for SC category students when it comes to bond penalties in Kerala but you have to pay some money for leaving the college in between.

Think of your decision again if its not a big issue continue with same college as you get mbbs degree from here too.at the end choice is yours hope you will get what you want.

I got AIR 14000 neet pg 2024 is obg possible in kims hubli

Hello Afreen,

With an All India Rank (AIR) of 14,000 in NEET PG 2024, your chances of securing an MD/MS seat in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBG) at Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Hubli, will depend on various factors, including seat availability, category reservations, and state-level cutoff trends.

In previous years, OBG has been a high-demand specialty with cutoffs typically lower than your rank for general category candidates. However, for OBC category candidates, there might still be a possibility depending on the specific cutoffs for this year, which can vary based on the reservation category and the overall competition. To maximize your chances, consider participating in the state counseling for Karnataka, as state quotas may provide slightly better odds.

Keep an eye on the official Karnataka NEET PG counseling website for updated cutoff trends, as they will give a clearer idea of seat allocation for OBG in KIMS Hubli.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello,

Yes, a duplicate Class 10th and 12th marksheet issued by CBSE is acceptable for NEET counseling and admission, provided it is an official duplicate issued by the board. You can apply for a duplicate marksheet from the CBSE regional office. Ensure that the document is properly attested and verified, as it will hold the same validity as the original for admission and verification processes during NEET counseling.

Hope this helps you
