NTA Introduces Procedure for Duplicate Scorecards for Major Exams
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has introduced a formal procedure for candidates to apply for duplicate scorecards for exams like NEET-UG, JEE Main, CUET, and UGC-NET, effective September 17, 2026. Candidates who have lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed their original scorecards can apply online or by post, submitting required documents including affidavits. NTA advises checking DigiLocker first, as scorecards available there do not require reapplication. The new system addresses previous gaps in issuing duplicate scorecards for academic and professional use.
