NEET UG 2025 Answer Key: It's Here!
Whew! The wait is over. The National Testing Agency (NTA) finally dropped the provisional answer key for NEET UG 2025, and let me tell you, the internet’s buzzing. Millions of students across India (and even a few international locations!) took this exam on May 4th, hoping to secure their spot in a medical or dental college. Now, it's crunch time. This article will walk you through everything you need to know about downloading the answer key, challenging any questionable answers, and what to expect next.
Downloading Your Answer Key and OMR Sheet
First things first: you can grab your answer key and individual response sheet (aka OMR sheet) from the official NEET UG website – neet.nta.nic.in. I know, navigating government websites can be a bit of a quest sometimes, but they've made it pretty straightforward this year, thankfully. Just log in using your application number and date of birth. It’s crucial to check everything carefully—compare your marked answers against the key to get a sense of your likely score. This is how to do it:
- Go to neet.nta.nic.in
- Find the link for the NEET answer key.
- Log in with your details.
- Download and save your answer key and OMR sheet!
Got a Problem with an Answer? Here's How to Challenge It
If you spot something amiss in the answer key, you’ve got until June 5th to challenge it. But be warned: each challenge costs ₹200 per question, and that fee isn’t refundable, even if your challenge is accepted. Honestly, I think that's a bit steep, but those are the rules. To challenge, you need to go to the official website and go through an online process - which is outlined below.
- Go to the official NTA NEET UG 2025 website.
- Find the answer key challenge link.
- Log in and select the question(s) you wish to challenge.
- Provide a justification (strong evidence will help your case).
- Pay the fee.
- Download your challenge receipt.
Remember: you won't get a personal update on whether your challenge was successful. You'll have to check the final answer key (expected by June 14th, if previous years are anything to go by), to see if any changes were made.
What's Next?
The NTA will release the final answer key after reviewing all the objections. Then, the big moment: the NEET UG 2025 results! Based on previous timelines, we're expecting those around June 14th. The result will then determine your eligibility for undergraduate courses like MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BUMS, BHMS, and BSMS. Keep an eye on the official website for the latest updates – it's the only place you'll get official information.
Good luck to everyone waiting for their results. It's been a stressful few months, and the anticipation is probably killing you, but try to keep your chin up!
