NEET UG 2026 Score Discrepancy Petition Filed; Bombay HC Upholds NTA Evaluation

Analysed 30 Jul 2026·10 sources analysed·Delhi, India·Politics
NEET UG 2026 Score Discrepancy Petition Filed; Bombay HC Upholds NTA EvaluationPreviousNext

A NEET UG 2026 candidate has petitioned the Delhi High Court alleging that his score on the National Testing Agency (NTA) portal changed three times within 24 hours, from 650 to 500 and then 135 marks, without explanation. He disputes the authenticity of the OMR sheet shown by NTA and seeks independent verification of his original answer sheet. Separately, the Bombay High Court dismissed four petitions challenging the Re-NEET UG 2026 results after examining original OMR sheets, upholding NTA's evaluation and imposing fines on petitioners for unsubstantiated claims.
