Speaking with The Hindu, Kalyan said, “It was unexpected that I lost five marks in the re-revised result. But I have some hope to get a seat at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi. I have to see how the counselling goes.”
Kalyan’s father, Venkateshappa V., a software engineer, expressed disappointment with this re-revised NEET-2024 result. “He had put a lot of effort into achieving AIR-1. It is unfortunate that his rank has dropped in the re-revised result.
