NEET response sheet release date: how to download and challenge
Once NTA uploads the response sheets, candidates can download their individual OMR/response sheet from neet.nta.nic.in. You will need your valid NEET UG application number and date of birth to log in and view or save the file.
NTA normally publishes the official answer key along with the response sheet. If you find discrepancies, you can file an objection to the OMR/response sheet. Challenges require a fee of Rs 200 per question , and the objection window is expected to stay open for 48 to 72 hours after the response sheet goes live. Payment of the challenge fee is mandatory for each question you dispute.
NTA will host all downloads and challenge links only on the official NEET portal. Keep your NEET UG application number and DOB handy to avoid delays when the response sheet is published.
