Karnataka NEET Candidate Alleges OMR Discrepancies in Re-Exam Evaluation
A Karnataka NEET-UG 2026 candidate, Bindushree Pawar, alleges serious discrepancies in her re-exam OMR sheet uploaded by the National Testing Agency (NTA), including an implausible one-minute exam duration and mismatched fingerprints. She claims her expected score of around 663-668 marks was recorded as minus 11 or minus 14, raising concerns about evaluation accuracy. Despite multiple complaints, the NTA has not responded, while also warning against fake OMR sheets. The case highlights broader student concerns over transparency in the NEET re-exam process.
