NEET UG Re-Exam 2026: The National Testing Agency (NTA) will close the objection window for the NEET UG re-examination 2026 provisional answer key on June 28 at 11:50 pm. Candidates who appeared for the re-exam can check the provisional answer key and raise objections, if any, through the official website, neet.nta.nic.in.
Candidates will have to pay a non-refundable processing fee of Rs 200 per question while submitting a challenge. However, if a challenge is accepted by the expert panel, the fee paid for that question will be refunded.
The NTA has clarified that objections can only be submitted online. Challenges sent via email, fax, post, or any other mode will not be accepted.
Candidates can challenge answers only under the Question Paper Series Code printed on the cover of the test booklet they took home after the examination on June 21, 2026. If an objection is accepted, the revised answer will be applied uniformly to all candidates across all four question paper sets. Candidates do not need to submit the same challenge separately for multiple series codes.
The agency further said that the final answer key prepared after examining all objections will be treated as the final answer key, and no further grievances regarding the answer key will be entertained after the objection window closes or the result is declared.
The NTA also clarified that individual scanned OMR response sheets are not available at this stage because the OMR scanning process is still underway.
Candidates will be given a separate opportunity to view their scanned OMR response sheets once the scanning process is completed.
