NEET UG 2021: NTA releases scanned images of OMR sheets

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued scanned images of the OMR answer sheet for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Exam (NEET) UG 2021 on its official website. Although NTA had emailed the answer sheets along with the scorecards to candidates, many students had claimed that they have not received the same yet. Candidates can download the NEET OMR sheet till November 14 up to 9pm.

“The scanned image of the OMR Answer Sheet has already been emailed to the candidates at their registered email address. On receiving requests from the candidates not receiving the scanned image of the OMR Answer Sheet, the NTA is now providing an opportunity to view, download the scanned image of the OMR Answer Sheet of NEET (UG) – 2021 on the official website neet.nta.nic.in. This facility will be available from 09 November 2021 to 14 November 2021 (up to 9pm),” NTA mentioned in an official circular.

NEET 2021 was conducted on September 12 in an offline mode. Students who appeared for the exam but have not received their OMR sheet can follow these steps:

• Go to the official website-neet.nta.nic.in.
• Click on the download answer sheet link.
• Login using credentials.
• Answer key will be displayed on your screen.
• Download it.

Sharing the OMR sheets was also important for NTA as many candidates were claiming that there were errors in their NEET 2021 results, stating that marks as calculated by students based on the answer key released by NTA and the original results varied by a considerable margin. Some of the candidates have also raised objections over receiving two ranks on their scorecards of NEET 2021.

NTA has not announced NEET counselling 2021 dates yet, which will be held in three rounds, and candidates will have to enrol themselves for the process by keying in their roll numbers, registration numbers, names, and other required credentials while registering online.
