NEET 2020 result declared; Odisha's Shoyeb Aftab tops scoring 720/720

After the NEET results were announced, Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal took to Twitter to thank the NTA for "giving a new cohort of doctors this year."

Also, addressing students who could not clear the exam, he said they should not be disheartened as they still have opportunities in other sectors. He also added that an exam cannot define them.

Students are required to visit the official NTA website, ntaneet.nic.in, to download their scorecard.

Next, they need to click on the "View NEET-UG 2020 - Result" option after which they should enter and submit their credentials such as the roll number, date of birth, and security pin.

On the next page, the candidates can view their NEET-UG 2020 scorecard and download the same.

Candidates should note that the NEET 2020 scorecard will not only contain the total number of marks they scored but also their ranks.

This year, the medical entrance was held on September 13 after being postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
