Earlier today, the Supreme Court of India allowed the agency to conduct NEET re-exam on October 14. Therefore, NEET result 2020, which was expected to be announced today, will now be declared on October 16.

“The exam for aforesaid candidates is going to be conducted on Wednesday, October 14, from 2 to 5 pm and the combined result of NEET UG 2020 will be declared on October 16 (Friday),” an official statement said.
