Kota: Students who excelled in the NEET UG re-examination held on June 21 said today the retest was more favourable, helping them secure higher marks and significantly improve their All India Ranks (AIR) following the paper leak controversy.
Ayush Balotia, who secured AIR 4 in re-NEET, had scored 695 in the previously cancelled exam and scored 710 this time.
“My coaching classes used to be from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. After that, I would go to the mess for dinner, then study for around two to two-and-a-half hours. After that, I would check my phone for a while and then go to sleep,” he told IANS.
He would follow almost the same schedule every day.
Kartik Chaudhary, who secured AIR 16, also said the NEET re-exam turned out to be “more favourable” for him.
“In the first exam, I had scored 700, and this time I scored 705. With the 705, I got AIR 16, which is a very good rank. Though the earlier paper was a little easier, this paper was of a slightly better level, and whatever I studied over the last two years reflected in my 705 marks this time,” he said.
Describing his preparation for the national-level medical entrance test, Chaudhary told IANS that he would study in the night, “from 9:30 -10 p.m. till 4:30 – 5 a.m”.
“Then I slept till around 12:30 p.m. and attended coaching classes from 2 p.m.,” he said while mentioning that he prepared for the exam from Rajasthan’s Kota.
Kritika Jain, who secured AIR 18 in re-NEET, said that in the previous exam held on May 3, he had scored 705.
“I was expecting a lower rank because the paper was easy and many students had scored high marks. But as soon as re-NEET was announced, I felt I could improve my rank. Although my marks were reduced to 701 in the re-examination, my rank improved,” he told IANS.
Gunjan, who secured AIR 52, said: “I scored 695 out of 720. In the first exam, I scored 690, and this time my score improved to 695. Yes, re-NEET worked in my favour. My rank improved.”
“I revised Inorganic Chemistry a lot because I used to forget it. The rest of the paper felt easy,” she added.
