Meanwhile, the NTA has released the scanned OMR response sheets of candidates who appeared for the re-conducted NEET UG 2026 exam. The response sheets are now available on the official website, neet.nta.nic.in, after the agency had earlier published the provisional answer key.

With the objection window closing today, the NTA is expected to publish the final answer key shortly, followed by the declaration of the NEET UG 2026 re-examination results by July 20. More than 20 lakh MBBS aspirants are awaiting the outcome.

The scanned OMR sheets have not been released as a public PDF or notice. Instead, candidates must access their individual response sheets by logging into the official NEET portal using their registered application number and password. Candidates are advised to verify their login credentials before accessing the portal, as incorrect details could delay access to the response sheet and the answer key challenge facility.
