NEET

No, the National Testing Agency (NTA) does not release NEET answer keys and question papers together. While releasing the NEET provisional result, NTA releases candidates' OMR sheets. The final NEET answer key is released in the form of a single PDF document, carrying the keys for all sets of the NEET question papers. The hardcopy of the NEET question papers are given by NTA on the day of the exam. Being a paper-pencil based test, candidates are allowed to carry the question papers outside the exam hall. In general, NTA releases the NEET question papers of previous years on its official website few months after the exam is conducted. NTA has released the NEET 2023 question papers of English and Hindi languages. However, the NEET 2022 question papers are not available on the official website yet. It is expected that the question papers of NEET 2022 will be released soon.

The NEET official answer keys are released by NTA, or the National Testing Agency, the exam conducting body. The provisional answer keys are released by NTA and can be downloaded only by the candidates who had appeared for the exam. The provisional answer keys will state the particular question paper set of NEET, followed by the correct answer option. Candidates' OMR sheets will also be available for download along with the provisional answer keys. On the other hand, the final NEET answer key will be released as a single PDF document, which will carry the question-wise correct or the final NEET answer keys. The final answer keys will also indicate whether a question is dropped or if more there is more than one correct answer option. 

Once the NEET answer key objection process is closed, NTA gets the objections reviewed by the expert committee. In case of any change in the provisional answer keys, NTA will release a press release or official notification stating the same. It will properly state whether the question or the answer key options are wrong, or if multiple answer options are correct. Accordingly, all candidates will be marked. 

NTA stated the resolution for situations wherein it is discovered in the NEET answer key that all answer options are incorrect, or a question has more than one correct answer. The resolutions are given below:

• If more than one option is found to be correct then Four marks (+4) will be awarded to only those who have marked any of the correct options. 
• If none of the options is found correct or a Question is found to be wrong or a Question is dropped then all candidates who have appeared will be given four marks (+4) irrespective of the fact whether the question has been attempted or not attempted by the candidate.
