The National Testing Agency (NTA) dismisses viral and social media claims alleging discrepancies in NEET-UG OMR answer sheets and results. In a statement, the NTA says the circulated images of OMR sheets have been digitally manipulated and, in some cases, appear to be AI-generated or regenerated rather than authentic. The agency also states that it has verified the original OMR sheets and the corresponding scores for the candidates whose posts prompted the allegations, and says the declared results match the original records. The rebuttal comes after claims that OMR sheets were swapped or that the number of attempted answers did not align with what was recorded. NTA further says that for candidates with legitimate concerns, the proper route is to use the official grievance redressal mechanism. It adds that the genuine OMR sheet and related forensic comparison materials are available for inspection by competent authorities examining the issue. The NTA also indicates that candidates who submit fabricated records may face penalties under applicable legal provisions.
