NEET 2023 : Who will get better rank on equal marks, NTA changed NEET tie-breaking policy

Apart from increasing the application fees and reducing the number of exam centers, NTA has made another important change in the medical entrance exam NEET UG. National Testing Agency (NTA) has changed the tie-breaking policy of NEET (NEET-UG). If two or more students have the same number, who will be placed higher in the merit, it is decided by the tie-breaking policy. Till last year, age and NEET UG application number were used to decide the tie. But this time NTA removed the irrational rule of giving better rank on the basis of higher age and application number. NTA has issued only 7 rules in the year 2023 by removing the last 2 rules out of a total of 9 rules of tie-breaking for the year 2022.

As per the tie-breaking policy of NEET UG 2023, in case of equal marks, the marks in Biology will be considered first to decide their rank. The one who will get more marks in Biology (Botany & Zoology) will be placed higher in the rank. If there is no decision, then the marks of Chemistry and then Physics will be compared.

NEET TIE-BREAKING FORMULA

1- The one who will get more marks in Biology (Botany & Zoology) will be placed higher in the rank.

2- If the rank is not decided by the factor of Biology, then the marks of Chemistry will be considered. The one who will get more marks in Chemistry will be placed higher in the rank.

3- After this, the marks of Physics will be seen. The one who will get more marks in physics will be placed higher in the rank.

4- The one who gives less wrong answers than the right answers will be placed higher.

5- After this, the candidate whose ratio of attempted wrong answers and correct answers in Biology (Botany and Zoology) is less, will be placed above.

6- After this, the candidate whose ratio of attempted wrong answers and correct answers in Chemistry is less, will be placed above.

7- The candidate whose percentage of attempted wrong in Physics will be less.

These points were removed this time

– the older candidate would be placed higher.

– Rank will be decided on the basis of NEET application number increasing order (ascending order).
