The National Testing Agency (NTA) is preparing to declare the results for the NEET UG 2026 re-examination by July 20. The re-test was held on June 21 after the May 3 NEET exam was cancelled over alleged paper leaks, affecting more than 20 lakh candidates. After the June 21 exam, NTA released the provisional answer key on June 25, and candidates were given until June 28 to raise objections. Reports across outlets say the agency has received roughly 10,000 challenges to the provisional key. NTA is reviewing the objections one by one, including checking any supporting evidence, before finalising the answer key. The final answer key will be used to prepare the revised results. Alongside the provisional key, NTA is also expected to publish candidates’ OMR response sheets and open (or already has opened) the objection window so discrepancies can be reviewed by subject experts. After the results are announced, counselling schedules are expected to be released through the Medical Counselling Committee and state authorities, with NTA stating that the academic year for MBBS admissions will not be delayed.
