The controversy regarding the medical entrance examination NEET UG 2026 is not showing any signs of stopping. After the National Testing Agency released the provisional answer key and recorded response OMR sheets, thousands of students across the country have raised serious questions over the results and the scanned sheets. Many candidates claim that the OMR sheet they filled at the exam center is completely different from the one uploaded on the official portal. Some students have even alleged that the bubbles on their sheets have been tampered with, causing a huge drop in their scores.
NTA’s sharp counterattack: Strong warning on fake claims and edited OMR sheets
Amidst the growing anger across the country and the claims going viral on social media, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has clarified the situation by issuing a very strict and official notice. NTA has completely rejected all the allegations of students and parents and termed them as misleading. The examination agency has warned that some anti-social elements and students are circulating fake OMR sheets on social media through Photoshop and editing tools to hide their failure or divert attention. NTA has made it clear that any student or gang found involved in such fake claims, legal action will be taken against him and he will be debarred from future examinations.
Process to challenge answer key begins: Know how to lodge objection
Amidst the controversies, NTA has given a chance to the students to register their objection as per the rules. Candidates who feel that there is a genuine error in their OMR sheet or official answer key can challenge it online by visiting the official website of NEET, neet.nta.nic.in. For this, students will have to pay a non-refundable fee of Rs 200 per question. Experts say that students should challenge only with solid evidence and correct documents, as NTA will directly reject claims made without any solid basis.
Huge tension between medical students and parents: Eyes fixed on Supreme Court
This new OMR sheet controversy has raised the heartbeats of lakhs of medical aspirants of the country. Students and parents are continuously protesting in major coaching hubs like Delhi-NCR, Kota, Patna, Lucknow and Jaipur and demanding a fair investigation. Many student organizations have also prepared to approach the Supreme Court regarding this matter. Amidst these questions being raised on the purity of the examination, now everyone’s eyes are on the final result of NEET UG and the counseling process to see whether NTA is able to find a concrete solution to this controversy or not.
