The ReNEET 2026 examination was successfully conducted on June 21, 2026, in offline pen-and-paper mode from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM IST, after the original NEET UG 2026 exam held on May 3 was cancelled by NTA over a confirmed paper leak. With the re-exam now over, candidates are eager to estimate their scores ahead of the official result.
The unofficial ReNEET 2026 answer key code-wise is (Codes 50, 60, 70, and 80) . Based on initial student reactions and expert reviews, the paper was rated moderate overall — Physics emerged as the toughest and most time-consuming section, Chemistry stayed largely NCERT-aligned, and Biology offered the highest scoring potential. The official NTA provisional answer key is expected on neet.nta.nic.in within the coming days, followed by an objection window, with the ReNEET 2026 result anticipated by late July 2026.
The code-wise ReNEET 2026 answer keys are listed below. Each candidate is allotted a specific booklet series code, printed in the top-right corner of the question paper — so always download the key that matches your exact code. The same question number can carry a different correct option across codes, and using the wrong key is the single most common self-evaluation mistake.

Q: When was the NEET UG 2026 re-exam held? A: The NEET UG 2026 re-exam was conducted by NTA on June 21, 2026, in offline mode from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM, after the May 3 paper was cancelled.
Exam: NEET (UG) 2026 Re-Examination Date: June 21, 2026 (Sunday) Timing: 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM (IST) Mode: Offline (pen and paper, OMR-based) Duration: 3 hours 20 minutes (with compensatory time provisions) Total marks: 720 Total questions: 180 (to attempt) Marking: +4 for correct, -1 for incorrect Conducting body: National Testing Agency (NTA) Official website: neet.nta.nic.in
Q: Where can I check the NEET UG 2026 answer key? A: Unofficial answer keys from coaching institutes are available within hours of the exam and are linked on this page. The official NTA answer key is released later at neet.nta.nic.in along with an objection window.
The first unofficial answer keys are prepared by coaching institutes within hours of the exam, well ahead of NTA's official key. Match your question paper code and booklet set before checking responses.

How to use it: note your booklet code, tally each response, apply +4 for every correct answer and -1 for every incorrect answer, and leave un-attempted questions unscored. This gives a close estimate of your probable score ahead of the official result.
Based on early candidate feedback and expert review, here is how the June 21 re-exam paper shaped up across the three subjects.
Physics: Toughest and most time-consuming section. Formula-heavy, calculation-intensive, application-driven questions, with Class 12 topics carrying slightly more weight. Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Modern Physics, and Thermodynamics dominated. Students reported significant time pressure.
Chemistry: Tougher than the May 3 paper. A balanced mix of Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry, but Physical Chemistry involved lengthy, multi-concept calculations, and Organic Chemistry demanded strong command over reaction mechanisms and named reactions rather than direct recall.
Biology (Botany + Zoology): Easiest and most scoring section. Predominantly direct, NCERT-based questions, with Genetics, Human Physiology, Plant Physiology, Reproduction, and Ecology carrying the highest weightage.
Overall difficulty: Moderate overall, but tougher than May 3 — driven mainly by Chemistry and Physics.
Good attempts: Biology — 75–78 out of 90; Physics and Chemistry good-attempt ranges will be added once verified expert estimates are available.
| Parameter | NEET 2026 (3 May) | Re-NEET 2026 (21 June) |
| Physics | 45 Qs — toughest, numerical-heavy | 45 Qs — toughest, 22.2% Hard, most time-consuming |
| Chemistry | 45 Qs — moderate, balanced mix | 45 Qs — tougher than May 3, Physical Chemistry calculation-heavy |
| Biology | 90 Qs — easiest, NCERT-based | 90 Qs — easiest, most scoring, NCERT-based |
| Overall difficulty | Moderate | Moderate, but tougher than May 3 — driven by Physics and Chemistry |
| Expected cutoff impact | Baseline | Uncertain — tougher PCM may pull cutoff down; stronger second-attempt competition may push it up |
Candidates who sat both exams broadly agree the re-exam felt harder, even though the official subject structure (45-45-90) and total marks stayed identical. The difference shows up in calculation length and concept depth, not in pattern changes.
Q: How do I calculate my NEET 2026 score? A: Match your booklet code to the answer key, award +4 for each correct answer and -1 for each incorrect answer, leave blanks unscored, and total across 180 questions for a probable score out of 720.
Identify your question paper booklet code/set.
Open the matching unofficial answer key above.
For each question: +4 if your answer matches, -1 if it does not, 0 if left blank.
Total across all 180 questions for your probable raw score out of 720.
For a rank estimate against your score, use the expected cutoff and marks-vs-rank analysis on our dedicated page (linked below).
The expected cutoff depends on three pulls working in different directions: a tougher Physics-Chemistry combination this year, which typically lowers raw scores and could pull the cutoff down; significantly higher competition intensity since this is many aspirants' second attempt at the same admission cycle, which could push the cutoff up; and Biology's continued strength as a scoring section, which limits how far overall percentiles can fall. A confirmed cutoff will only be available with the official NTA result — any number circulating before that is an estimate.
NTA will release the official NEET UG 2026 answer key on neet.nta.nic.in, along with the recorded responses and OMR sheets, and open a time-bound objection window in which candidates can challenge answers against a fee. The final answer key is published after objections are reviewed, and the result is then declared, typically within a few weeks of the exam. Counselling for MBBS, BDS and allied courses follows, with All India Quota counselling conducted by the MCC and State Quota counselling by the respective state authorities.
Keep this page bookmarked and refresh for live updates through the evening.
Q: Will the NEET 2026 re-exam scores be normalised? A: The re-exam is held in a single shift, so there is no inter-shift normalisation. Scores follow the standard +4 / -1 scheme against the final answer key.
