The National Testing Agency (NTA) allows candidates to obtain a duplicate scorecard if their original is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed. Outlets report that candidates first check DigiLocker, where a digital copy may be available.

If the scorecard is not found on DigiLocker, candidates can follow the NTA process to request a duplicate. Times of India notes that applicants should download Annexure 1 from the relevant NTA notification, complete the form, and submit it along with required documents. The submission is done via email or post, depending on the instructions in the notification.

Across the reports, the overall emphasis is on verification: once the candidate submits the request and supporting materials, the NTA issues a duplicate scorecard after checking the records. The steps and terminology are similar, with both sources focusing on DigiLocker as the first option and the formal NTA request procedure as the alternative.
