NEET UG 2026 Provisional Answer Key Released
The NTA published the provisional answer key for NEET UG 2026 about three days after the test took place. The tentative answer keys were uploaded on May 6, 2026.
Candidates will receive the opportunity to dispute the provisional answer key after the official website publishes the scanned OMR response sheets. The agency has stated that the OMR sheet upload and objection window schedule will be announced through separate notifications.
What Happens After the NEET Answer Key Challenge Window Opens?
The NEET UG 2026 answer key challenge link will become active after which candidates who disagree with any answer in the provisional key package can raise their objections.
The objection process requires applicants to submit legitimate proof, while they must present proper evidence through their respective document authentication process. They need to pay the designated fee, which applies to each question they intend to dispute.
After the objection window closes, subject experts appointed by the NTA will review all challenges that candidates have submitted to them. The answer key will undergo modification when the objection receives validation.
The final answer key will then be used for preparing and declaring the NEET UG Result 2026.
NEET UG 2026 Merit List and Counselling
The National Testing Agency will prepare the NEET UG 2026 merit list for eligible candidates who opt for the 15% All India Quota seats. The entrance examination results will determine the order of merit.
