How to Calculate Your NEET Score Using the Answer Key
Candidates can calculate their probable NEET UG 2026 score using the marking scheme below. Keep in mind that one question from Code 50 has been dropped and one question has two correct answers — NTA will handle bonus marks for these separately.
| Response Type | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct Answer | +4 marks |
| Incorrect Answer | -1 mark |
| Unattempted | 0 marks |
| Dropped Question (Code 50 only) | +4 marks for all who attempted it |
Formula: NEET Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 4) − (Number of Incorrect Answers × 1). The maximum score for NEET UG is 720 marks.
How to Raise Objections Against Re NEET 2026 Answer Key
If a candidate believes any answer in the provisional key is incorrect, they can raise a formal objection through the NTA portal by June 28, 2026 at 11:50 PM. Follow the steps below.
- Visit neet.nta.nic.in and click on the answer key challenge link.
- Log in using your application number and required credentials.
- Select the question you want to challenge.
- Choose the answer option you believe is correct.
- Upload supporting documents — preferably NCERT textbook references.
- Pay the objection fee of Rs 200 per question using Debit Card, Credit Card, or Net Banking.
- Submit the objection and save the confirmation receipt.
The challenge fee of Rs 200 per question is non-refundable under all circumstances. However, if an objection is found valid by NTA's expert panel, the question is typically dropped from the paper and all candidates who attempted it receive full marks (+4), regardless of what they originally marked. Use only NCERT textbooks as supporting evidence — personal notes or unverified online sources are not accepted.
NTA Drops One Question, Two Correct Answers for Another
NTA has identified discrepancies in the Re NEET 2026 question paper. Question 26 of Code 50 has been dropped by NTA. All candidates who attempted this question will receive full marks. One other question has been identified as having two correct answers, and candidates who marked either of the two correct options will receive marks for it. These adjustments will be reflected in the final answer key and result.

The Re NEET OMR Sheet 2026 has been released alongside the provisional answer key on the candidate login dashboard at neet.nta.nic.in. Candidates should cross-check their scanned OMR response sheet with the provisional answer key carefully before raising any objection.
