The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially published the provisional answer key and the scanned OMR response sheets for the NEET (UG) 2025 exam on June 3, 2025. This important update gives candidates a chance to review their answers and raise objections if they find any discrepancies. The challenge submission window is now open and will remain available until June 5, 2025.
How to Challenge NEET 2025 Provisional Answer Key and OMR Sheets
Candidates who feel there are errors in the provisional answer key or in their recorded OMR responses can submit their challenges online by paying a fee of INR 200 per question. The process is straightforward and entirely digital, making it convenient for students across India.
To challenge the provisional answer key, candidates need to visit the official NEET website at neet.nta.nic.in. After logging in with their application number and date of birth, candidates can select their test booklet code and view all questions along with the current answer key. They can mark any question(s) they wish to challenge by selecting alternate options and can also upload supporting documents in a single PDF file to strengthen their claim.
The steps to challenge the OMR response sheet are similar. Candidates log in to the same portal, select the OMR challenge option, and review the answers recorded by NTA. They can then dispute any recorded responses they believe are incorrect by selecting alternate options and submitting the challenge with the required fee.
Important Details About the Challenge Fee and Payment
Each question challenged requires a non-refundable fee of INR 200. Payments can be made securely via debit or credit card, or net banking. Once the payment is successful, candidates should download and keep the receipt for future reference.
What Happens After Submitting Challenges?
After the submission period closes on June 5, a panel of subject experts appointed by NTA will carefully review all objections submitted by candidates. If any challenge is found to be valid, the provisional answer key will be updated accordingly. The final answer key will then be used to calculate scores and prepare the NEET 2025 results.
It is important to note that candidates will not receive individual notifications about the acceptance or rejection of their challenges. The final NEET results, based on the revised answer key, are expected to be released by June 14, 2025.
