The National Testing Agency (NTA) released the final answer key for the NEET UG 2026 examination late on Thursday, making two key revisions in the Physics section of the paper. One question has been dropped entirely, while another has been revised after it was found to have more than one correct answer, according to the final answer keys of the June 21 question paper.
One of the disputed questions involved a Vernier calipers problem that asked candidates to determine the length of a wire based on the instrument’s reading. After reviewing objections, the NTA decided to drop the question from the final answer key.
The second revision relates to a question on electromagnetic waves. The agency found that both options 3 and 4 were correct, instead of a single correct answer as originally indicated.
As a result of the dropped question, the NTA has awarded four bonus marks to all candidates who appeared for the examination. The NTA had earlier this week released the provisional answer key and response sheet.
Candidates who had appeared for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test can now download the final answer key from the official portal.
