NEET UG Result 2023: Medical Aspirants Allege Discrepancies In NTA NEET Result And OMR Sheet

Multiple students who took the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) Undergraduate (UG) 2023 have raised concerns regarding discrepancies in the announced results. This has caused a wave of worry among students and parents, who have taken to social media to share their findings and seek clarification from the National Testing Agency (NTA). Students and parents have posted NEET UG 2023 OMR sheets on Twitter, highlighting a stark contrast between the marks indicated on the OMR sheets and the marks declared in the official results. Frustrated by these apparent inconsistencies, individuals affected by this issue have requested the NTA to address the matter and provide an explanation for the disparities.
One distressed parent shared on Twitter, "As per the OMR uploaded on the official website of NTA, the marks of @kamalgarg1679's son are supposed to be 658 out of 720. However, the result card shows only 464 out of 720. Attaching a screenshot of the OMR. @DG_NTA, please cross-check and give clarification." Another concerned student shared their OMR sheet, stating, "Dear sir, I am Prabhudutta Panda, a NEET 2023 aspirant with roll number 3604020498. As per the OMR sheet and answer key provided by NTA, I scored 598, but after the results were declared, it was only 403."
Adding to the growing discontent, another user wrote, "My niece has scored 639 marks in NEET UG 2023 according to the OMR and answer key provided by you, but the declared result is showing only 59 marks obtained. Kindly look into this and help me understand what to do." Several comments under these posts revealed similar grievances from numerous students, with one user admitting, "Actually, it's true I scored 608 in OMR but got less than that."
Despite the increasing number of students sharing concerns about OMR discrepancies on Twitter, the NTA has yet to provide clarification on the matter. One possible explanation for these inconsistencies could be changes made to several answers in the NEET final answer key. However, without the NEET final answer key for 2023, this assumption remains unconfirmed. It is important to note that the NTA uploaded the OMR sheets alongside the answer key on June 4, allowing candidates to verify their responses. The NEET UG results for 2023 were ultimately declared based on the final answer key, further contributing to the confusion experienced by students and parents.
