NEET-UG 2026 re-exam provisional answer key released; challenges open till 28 June
The National Testing Agency has released the provisional answer key for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination. Candidates who sat the 21 June re-test (Re-NEET) can now match their responses against the official key and work out an expected score before results.
NTA published the provisional answer key, the question papers and the recorded OMR response sheets on 25 June at neet.nta.nic.in. The key is login-gated, so you need your application number and password to open the version for your booklet code.
How to check your answer key
- Go to neet.nta.nic.in and open the “NEET UG 2026 Provisional Answer Key” link.
- Log in with your application number and password (or date of birth).
- View the key for your test booklet code and download it for reference.
How to challenge an answer
If you think an answer is wrong, you can challenge it until 28 June, 11:50 PM. The fee is ₹200 per question, paid online, and it is refunded for every challenge NTA accepts. A subject-expert panel reviews each challenge, and the decision applies to all candidates who attempted that question.
This year’s key already marks one question as dropped and one with two correct options. When a question is cancelled or has more than one valid answer, candidates get the marks under NTA’s scoring rules.
What happens next
After the challenge window closes, NTA reviews the objections and publishes the final answer key. That final key sets the actual scoring, and the NEET-UG 2026 results and All India Ranks follow from there.
