In case a candidate calculates a high score in the exam based on the NEET answer key, they may shortlist their choice of medical colleges with a high rank. On the other hand, if their estimated score appears to be low, and chances to get admission to their dream college seems to be low, then they can explore other alternatives in terms of course and colleges where they may pursue their higher education based on their NEET scores. Moreover, if they find a particular question or answer option doubtful, they also have the chance to file objection against it, which may lead to revision of the answer keys, and make the NEET score more accurate and fair.
