The National Testing Agency (NTA) will soon release the NEET 2025 provisional answer key and OMR response sheet PDF. Following past trends, the NEET UG 2025 answer keys are expected to be published in the fourth week of May. However, there is no official confirmation from NTA authorities. Once released, candidates will be able to download the NEET UG 2025 answer key by visiting the official website - neet.nta.nic.in.
This year, the NEET UG 2025 was conducted on 4 May 2025, at various exam centres across the country, for admission into undergraduate courses in medicine and allied sciences. Last year, the testing agency released the provisional answer keys within a 24-day gap, on 29 May. In 2023, they were released after 28 days, on 7 May, and in 2022, they were issued 45 days after the exam, also on 7 May. Based on this pattern, the provisional answer keys are anticipated to be released in the final week of May or the first week of June. If this pattern holds, candidates can expect answer keys between 29 May and 2 June.

The NTA reviews all challenges before issuing the final answer keys. Based on the final answer keys, the NTA releases results, which are non-challengeable. Following the results, the NTA conducts a counselling process for candidates seeking admission to MBBS, BDS, and other courses across India.
