Dismayed at getting just six marks in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET-UG 2020, Vidhi Suryavanshi from Chhindwara district, Madhya Pradesh, ended her life. Her parents later found that the National Testing Agency (NTA) that conducts the exam had made an error and her response sheet revealed she had actually scored 590.
