The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the provisional answer key for the NEET UG 2026 exam, which is a critical step for students seeking admission to undergraduate medical programs in India, including MBBS and BDS. This announcement has generated excitement among lakhs of medical aspirants who can now check their responses against the key to gauge their potential scores. Alongside the answer key, the NTA has also provided recorded responses and question papers for thorough cross-checking. Candidates will soon be able to challenge any answers they believe are incorrect once the NTA uploads the scanned OMR sheets. The objection window will allow students to submit their challenges along with supporting documents and a prescribed fee. Subject experts will review these challenges, and if deemed valid, the answer key will be updated accordingly. The final results will be declared based on the revised answer key.
