Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find quick answers to common queries regarding paper codes, answer keys, scoring, paper leak cancellations, and NTA updates.
Q1. What are the paper codes for Re NEET 2026?
The Re NEET UG 2026 exam held on June 21, 2026 used four paper codes: Code 50, Code 60, Code 70, and Code 80. Each code contains the same 180 questions arranged in a different order.
Q2. When will the official NTA Re NEET 2026 answer key be released?
The official NTA provisional answer key is expected around June 24–26, 2026 on neet.nta.nic.in. This is an estimate based on NTA's usual timeline of 3–5 days after the exam.
Q3. Are the coaching institute answer keys accurate?
These are memory-based unofficial keys prepared by experienced NEET faculty (Aakash, Allen, Motion, PW). They are highly reliable for early score estimation but the official NTA key is the final authority for result purposes.
Q4. Why was the original NEET 2026 exam cancelled?
The original NEET UG 2026 exam was held on May 3, 2026. NTA officially cancelled it on May 12, 2026 after investigations confirmed a paper leak — Rajasthan Police SOG recovered a guess paper matching approximately 140 actual exam questions. A CBI investigation is ongoing.
Q5. How do I calculate my NEET score using the answer key?
Use this formula: Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 4) − (Number of Incorrect Answers × 1). Unanswered questions carry 0 marks. Maximum possible score is 720.
Q6. Can I challenge the official NTA answer key?
Yes. Once NTA releases the provisional answer key, you can challenge any answer during the objection window (usually 48–72 hours). The fee is ₹200 per question, refundable if your challenge is upheld.
Q7. When will Re NEET 2026 results be declared?
Results are tentatively expected in late July 2026. Counselling is expected from August 2026.
