NEET UG 2025 Answer Key Released: A Crucial Step for 22.7 Lakh Med Hopefuls
The moment has arrived for over 22.7 lakh students across India waiting to see how they fared in one of the world’s largest medical entrance tests. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the provisional answer key for NEET UG 2025, giving everyone who took the test on May 4 a first look at their likely performance—and a shot at correcting any official errors before the big results day.
It’s more than just a routine update. If you sat for NEET UG 2025, you can now log into the official portal with your details and view not only the answer key but also your personalized OMR response sheet. For many, this is the first time seeing exactly how their marked answers match up.
NTA’s provisional answer key isn’t necessarily the final word. Suppose you spot a mistake—a misread question, an ambiguous answer, or maybe a genuine error in the key. You have until June 5 to challenge any particular answer you believe is wrong. Each challenge will cost you ₹200 (and no, you can’t get that back even if your objection is accepted). Picture thousands of students quickly cross-checking, highlighting possible missteps, and debating online about contested answers as the clock ticks down.
Once the challenge window shuts, a team of subject experts steps in. They pour over every objection—question by question, challenge by challenge. Only after their review does NTA finalize the answer key. No wiggle room: the NEET UG 2025 results will be calculated with this key, meaning your fate as a future doctor could hang on a single challenged answer.
Exam Details, Result Timeline, and Contact Info
The sheer scale of the exam this year really stands out. On May 4, NEET UG 2025 was held in a single afternoon session from 2 PM to 5 PM. Over 5,453 centers set up across more than 500 cities buzzed with activity—exam halls, anxious families waiting outside, and watchful invigilators keeping everything on track.
Students have been waiting ever since for this answer key drop, as the next move is in their hands for a short time. After all the dust settles, NTA plans to announce the final NEET UG results by the second week of June, just a few days after the expert panel signs off on any corrections. For those who clear the cutoff, it’s the start of their path into MBBS programs at premier medical colleges across India.
If anything seems unclear or if you run into technical glitches while accessing your answer sheet or submitting a challenge, NTA has a couple of helplines set up. You can pick up the phone and call 011-40759000 or 011-69227700. Email support is ready at [email protected], so you’re not left guessing if your query gets lost in the shuffle.
All eyes in the medical aspirant community are now on the next few days—how many objections will pour in, will any questions get scrapped, and, ultimately, what the final result list will look like. The clock is ticking for one of the most high-stakes moments in the careers of lakhs of students.
