Rank Inflation Factors
In recent years, candidate performance has spiked, causing rank inflation (higher ranks at lower scores). This is caused by:
- •Paper Leak Re-Exam: The June 21 Re NEET 2026 occurred after cancellations, meaning candidates had extra study time.
- •Tied Scores: Hundreds of students can share the exact same marks, leading to rank crowding.
