NEET PG 2026 Answer Key: Why the Response Sheet Matters
NEET PG 2026 candidates are likely to get access to the provisional answer key along with their recorded responses. Once released, the details will help candidates check the answers marked during the exam and compare them with the official key. The answer-key process is linked to the Supreme Court order dated April 29, 2025. In its directions, the court asked the authorities to make key examination-related information available to candidates, including raw scores, answer keys, responses and details of the normalisation process.
NBEMS followed these directions during the NEET PG 2025 process. The disclosure of responses and other evaluation details gave candidates a way to understand how their scores were arrived at.

As reported, four marks are awarded for every correct answer, while one mark is deducted for an incorrect answer. No marks are awarded for unanswered questions. The estimated score calculated from the provisional key should not be treated as the final NEET PG score or rank.
