The National Testing Agency (NTA) will close the NEET UG 2026 re-examination provisional answer key objection window today, June 28, 2026, at 11:50 PM. Candidates who appeared for the NEET UG 2026 re-examination have only a limited time left to review the provisional answer key and submit objections against any answers they believe are incorrect.
The challenge facility is available through the official NEET UG portal, where candidates can log in using their application number and password. Each objection must be supported with valid academic evidence and accompanied by the prescribed processing fee. The NTA has made it clear that challenges submitted after the deadline or without the required fee will not be accepted.
