New Delhi: Examination Authority, National Testing Agency (NTA) has said in a clarification that the agency is responsible for holding the exams, declaring the result and issuing the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) merit list on the basis of All India Rank.
It may be noted that the state and central medical counselling committees, including Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), are responsible for NEET-UG counselling. NTA had announced the NEET-UG 2021 result on November 1.
“The responsibility of NTA is to conduct the examination and declare the result based on eligibility criteria provided by National Medical Commission. Candidates submitted their category as per National Category List and based on the same the result has been declared,” NTA said via a statement.
“NTA has provided All India Rank to the candidates and the admitting Authorities will draw a merit list based on All India Rank for the seats of MBBS/BDS falling under their jurisdiction. When candidates apply to their State, they will mention their category as per State Category List. State Counselling Authorities will accordingly make their Merit List. The same is the case with the domicile. The NTA has no role in it and no change in any data will be made by the NTA,” the exam conducting body said.
The NEET-UG counselling is administered by the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) on behalf of the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).
“During counselling, the eligibility criteria, self-declaration, various documents, etc. of the eligible candidates shall be verified as per norms specified by the respective authorities and/or Medical / Dental Colleges. NTA does not have any responsibility towards the correctness/genuinity of the uploaded information/documents during the application process,” added the NTA.
