NEET Re‑Exam Glitches Spark Student Outcry
The 2026 NEET exam was re‑held after a paper leak.
The Prime Minister said the new test was done quickly and results were out in a few days.
But many students said the online portal had mistakes: their answer sheets didn’t match, scores changed, and they couldn’t download marks.
One student’s score went from 650 to 500 to 135 in a day, so he asked the court for help.
The Delhi High Court told the exam agency to give him his real answer sheet, and he can now challenge the agency.
The exam agency warned that some students were sending fake scorecards made with AI, but many real problems are still unresolved.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the swift reconduct of the 2026 NEET exam, claiming results were announced just days earlier.
Students report widespread glitches: mismatched OMR sheets, fluctuating scores, and inability to download marksheets.
A Haryana student’s score changed from 650 to 500 to 135 within 24 hours, prompting a petition to the Delhi High Court.
The Delhi High Court ordered the National Testing Agency to provide the student’s original answer sheet, and the student was granted permission to challenge the NTA.
The NTA has warned against AI‑generated scorecards and has responded to some complaints, but many students remain unresolved.
