NEET OMR Sheet: How to mark the responses?

As mentioned above, NEET is an offline or pen-and-paper-based examination. Candidates had to mark their responses on the OMR sheet of NEET. Candidates must, therefore, be careful while marking their answers on the NEET OMR sheet. It is often seen that students make silly mistakes while filling in the bubbles on their OMR sheets. A few important pointers related to the OMR sheet of NEET are given below; these will help students mark their responses better.

  • Blue or black ballpoint pens are provided to the students at the NEET exam centres. Students are not allowed to carry a pen to the centre and have to mark their responses using the pen provided at the centre only
  • The correct way to mark the response is to fill the entire bubble. This will be considered a valid response.
  • If a bubble is semi-filled, it will not be considered a valid response. Such responses will not be graded
  • The marking must be confined to the circle only. Smudging or overfilled circles will not be graded.
