Out of 1,563 candidates, 813 took the exam again

According to NTA officials, out of 1,563 candidates, only 813 appeared for the NEET-UG re-examination. According to sources, the reason for only 48 percent of the candidates appearing for the re-examination may be that the rest of the candidates may have believed that the exam would be cancelled. It is possible that they did not appear for the re-examination due to fear of getting low marks in the re-examination or with the intention of appearing for the re-examination next year.
