NEET PG Results 2024: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) is expected to release the result of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test- Postgraduation (NEET PG) 2024 by the end of this month. Once the results are declared, the candidates can check their results on the NBEMS official website natboard.edu.in.
The NBEMS will calculate the scores based on the normalisation process adopted by AIIMS for many of its exams.
“NBEMS has adopted the process which is currently being used by AIIMS-New Delhi for its various examinations conducted in more than one shift including but not limited to INI-CET, in preparation of result for NEET-PG 2024,” the NBEMS notification read.
In this method, the highest score in each paper (irrespective of the raw scores/percentage obtained) will be the 100 percentile indicating that 100% of candidates have scored equal to or lesser than the highest scorer/ topper for that shift. The percentile scores will be calculated to 7 decimal places to avoid the bunching effect and reduce ties.
It is important to note that the NEET PG exam 2024 was conducted on August 11, 2024 in two shifts— the first from 9 am to 12:30 am and the next from 3:30 pm to 7 pm— instead of the usual one single shift format.
