The National Testing Agency (NTA) will close the NEET UG 2026 OMR Answer Sheet Challenge Window today, July 15, 2026. Candidates who wish to challenge their scanned OMR answer sheet or recorded responses must complete the process through the official NTA NEET website before the deadline.

The OMR challenge facility enables candidates to verify whether their marked responses have been accurately recorded. If any discrepancy is found, candidates can submit an online challenge by paying the prescribed processing fee of ₹200 per challenged response. Requests submitted after the deadline will not be accepted.

After the challenge window closes, NTA will review all the objections received. Valid challenges will be considered while preparing the final answer key, which will form the basis for the declaration of the NEET UG 2026 result. Candidates are advised to keep a copy of their challenged OMR response and payment receipt for future reference.
