NEET Aspirants Flag Score Mismatches After Re-Test Results
Some students who took the NEET UG 2026 exam are upset because their scores don't match what they expected.
For example, Arya Singh thought she should have gotten 609 marks, but she only got 157.
She and other students say there are mistakes in their answer sheets.
The NTA, which runs the exam, says many of the complaints are based on fake or altered answer sheets.
They are checking all the complaints carefully.
The exam was taken again on June 21 because the first one was cancelled due to a paper leak.
Over 11 lakh students passed the exam, and 138 got very high scores.
NEET UG 2026 re-test results announced on July 16, 2026, with over 11.21 lakh candidates qualifying.
Several candidates, including Arya Singh and Ibtesham Nasar, allege discrepancies in their scores and OMR sheets.
Arya Singh claims her score changed from 540 to 167, despite expecting 609 marks based on her OMR sheet.
The NTA dismisses allegations of widespread OMR mix-ups, stating many answer sheets circulating on social media are fake or AI-generated.
The NTA warns against submitting fake or AI-generated OMR sheets and is scrutinizing all complaints individually.
