Why was Soyeb Aftab declared NEET topper even as Akanksha scored 720/720?
Akanksha Singh, who also scored 720/720 in NEET, lost the top rank to Soyeb Aftab due to her younger age. According to the tie-breaker policy, preference is first given to Biology marks, followed by Chemistry. The third factor to decide the rank is the number of incorrect answers. If the tie still remains, the candidate older in age is preferred.
