NEET (UG) 2023 provisional answer key released: Here’s how to raise objections

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has made the Provisional Answer Key available for the candidates of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) (UG) 2023. The answer key is now available on the official website – neet.nta.nic.in.

Those who had appeared in the NEET UG 2023 exam can download the provisional answer keys, scanned images of OMR answer sheets, and recorded responses. The students can also raise objections to any errors or discrepancy in the answer key.  

The window for submitting objections will remain open from June 4, 2023, to 11:50 PM on June 6, 2023. To submit their objections to the Provisional Answer Key, candidates need to access the official website for NEET UG 2023. Each answer key challenge incurs a non-refundable processing fee of Rs 200.  Candidates can also challenge the Recorded Responses in relation to the OMR grading.

The NTA has also sent a scanned image of their OMR Answer Sheet to their registered email addresses provided during the NEET UG 2023 online application submission to aid in the process.

It is important to note that the panel of subject experts will verify each challenge made by candidates. If a challenge is deemed valid, the Answer Key will be revised accordingly. The final Answer Key, determined after expert evaluation, will be utilised to prepare and declare the results. Individual notifications regarding the acceptance or non-acceptance of challenges will not be provided.
