The majority of the top-performing candidates are between 17 and 19 years of age. 138 candidates scored above 690 marks out of 720. Of these, over 93 per cent appeared for Neet (UG) for the first time.
The NTA conducted a re-examination of the national-level entrance test on June 21, 2026, after the original May 3 exam was cancelled due to an alleged paper leak.
A multi-state investigation was launched to probe the leakage. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested several people including a chemistry professor in Pune, who is the main accused with links to the NTA process.
Nearly 1,800 to 1,900 students across the UAE were set to appear for the re-examination on June 21, which were conducted at three centres in the UAE — Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi — under enhanced security measures.
