Karnataka NEET Aspirant Alleges OMR Sheet Discrepancies in Re-exam Results

Analysed 28 Jul 2026·8 sources analysed·Karnataka, India·Education
Karnataka NEET Aspirant Alleges OMR Sheet Discrepancies in Re-exam ResultsPreviousNext

A Karnataka NEET-UG 2026 candidate, Bindushree Jagadish Pawar, alleges a serious discrepancy in her re-exam OMR sheet, claiming it shows only 41 attempted questions and a score of minus 11 instead of the 663-668 marks she expected. She points to implausible exam timings and overlapping fingerprints on the sheet, raising concerns about evaluation accuracy. Despite multiple complaints, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not responded, while also warning against fake OMR sheets circulating online. The case highlights broader student concerns over transparency in the NEET re-exam process.
