Before submitting an objection, candidates should keep the following points in mind:
Verify your scanned OMR sheet carefully before filing a challenge.
Challenge only those responses where you notice an actual mismatch.
Responses marked with a completely darkened circle using a blue or black ballpoint pen are considered valid.
Multiple marked options for a single question are treated as invalid.
Challenges submitted without payment will not be considered.
Keep a copy of the acknowledgement receipt for future reference.
Any attempt to manipulate or tamper with the OMR image may invite action under NTA's Unfair Means (UFM) rules.
After the objection window closes on July 15, 2026, NTA will review all valid challenges submitted by candidates.
If any discrepancy is found in the recorded responses due to an error in the scanning process, the necessary corrections will be made. These verified responses will then be used to prepare the NEET UG 2026 Re-NEET result.
Since the answer key challenge window has already closed, candidates can now challenge only their recorded OMR responses, not the provisional answer key.
Candidates should keep the following details ready before logging in:
Application Number
Password
Registered Mobile Number
Registered Email ID
OTP received through Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Having these credentials ready will help candidates complete the challenge process smoothly within the stipulated deadline.
