Candidates could also log in with their application credentials to download their NEET OMR sheet PDF by NTA and tally their responses with the official answer keys.

Q:   Where can I get NEET answer key from?
A:

NEET answer keys were released on the official website of NEET, neet.nta.nic.in. For the provisional answer keys, candidates had to log in to the NEET website with their NEET 2025 application number, password and Security Code. After that, they have to download their response sheets and the provisional answer keys.

Candidates and stakeholders can download the NEET 2025 final answer keys by NTA by clicking on the link and download it in PDF format.

Q:   Will NTA release NEET solutions along with answer keys?
A:

While NTA releases the NEET answer keys PDF, it does not release the detailed solutions or the answer-solving procedures and explanations. On the other hand, experts from coaching institutes release detailed NEET answer key solutions and candidates may refer to those to note the correct and effective way of solving a question. Hence, to understand if the answer solving methodology, test takers will not have any official source of reference, but would have to rely on the unofficial sources only.

Q:   Was there any change in the NEET 2024 final answer key?
A:

Yes, NTA announced that there was one question in the NEET 2024 question paper, which had two correct answer options. Hence, any candidate who had attempted that question and marked either of the answer options, have been given full marks. According to NTA, this year only one NEET answer key challenge was received which was validated. Based on the bonus marking, 44 candidates' scores turned out to be 720 out of 720, leading them to secure AIR 1.  However, during the Supreme Court hearing on NEET 2024 petitions, the apex court asked IIT Delhi professor's opinion on this question, and it was opined that the question had only one correct answer option. Accordingly, the bonus marks had to be revoked and candidates who marked any other option apart from the correct one, faced negative marking of one mark. Accordingly, NTA released the revised final NEET 2024 answer keys on July 26, 2024.

After checking the NTA NEET answer keys 2024, candidates could submit challenges against the answer keys by following the given procedure, in case they find a discrepancy in the official NEET answer keys. Candidates must note that their answer key objections wouldl not be considered for review unless they followed the official procedure and submitted the challenges within the deadline.
