How to Raise Objections

The NTA provides a window for candidates to challenge the recorded responses on their OMR sheets or the provisional answer key. This ensures transparency and accuracy in the final scoring.

If a candidate believes that a response has been recorded incorrectly on their OMR sheet, they can raise a formal objection during the designated challenge window. To submit a challenge, candidates must pay a non-refundable fee of ₹200 per question. This payment can be made online using a debit card, credit card, or net banking.

All submitted objections are reviewed by a panel of subject-matter experts in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. If an objection is found to be valid, the NTA corrects the response before preparing the final answer key. In cases where a question is found to be ambiguous or incorrect, it may be dropped, and bonus marks may be awarded to eligible candidates as per NTA policy.

Understanding the Marking Scheme

Candidates can use their OMR sheets and the answer keys to calculate their probable scores using the following marking system:

• Correct Answer: +4 Marks
• Incorrect Answer: -1 Mark
• Unattempted Question: 0 Marks

Calculation Formula: NEET Score = (Correct Answers × 4) − (Incorrect Answers × 1)

The exam consists of 180 questions with a maximum total of 720 marks. While this self-calculation is helpful for estimation, only the official scorecard issued by the NTA is valid for admission and counselling.
