The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducted the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET UG) on May 5 and the provisional answer keys are expected to be out soon. The NTA will also upload the scanned images of the OMR sheets and questions, along with the answer key. The candidates will be able to download it from the official website, by using their login credentials.i.e. their date of birth and application number.
The NEET exam (for undergraduate medical courses) was held in a single shift from 2 pm to 5:20 pm. The exam took place in 557 cities in India and 14 cities abroad with over 24 lakh students.
After the provisional answer key gets released, NTA will provide the objection window from where candidates can raise any objection against the provisional answer key, if any. When NTA provides the objection window, candidates are required to pay an amount per objection (Rs 200 per question) and the window typically stays open for 3 to 4 days. NTA reviews the objections and prepares the final answer key.
