Steps to Challenge NEET Answer Key 2022: Fee, Process, Details

NEET UG 2022 Answer Key Challenge: The National Testing Agency (NTA) released the NEET Answer Key 2022 on August 31, 2022. The answer key is available for direct PDF download at the official website of NTA @ neet.nta.nic.in. It is to be noted that this answer key is provisional in nature and if a candidate wishes to challenge one or more answers, then they must do so before September 2, 11;50 pm. The steps to challenge the official answer key are provided below.

Along with the answer key, the NTA has also released the Recorded Response Sheets of the candidates who appeared for the examination as well as the Scanned Images of the OMR Answer Sheets through the candidate login portal. If the candidate believes that their marked answer does not match with the recorded response sheet or the scanned OMR answer sheet wishes, such candidates are allowed to challenge the matter as well. All challenges must be made through neet.nta.nic.in only otherwise they will not be considered valid. Today is the last day to file all the challenges until 11:50 pm after which no challenge will be further entertained.

• If there is no official receipt of the challenge fee, then the challenge will not be considered. 

• Experts in the subjects will check the objections and verify. If found plausible, the answer key will be corrected accordingly.

• Based on the revised final answer key of NEET 2022, the final result will be drawn up and announced.
