The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the NEET UG re-test 2026 results on July 16, 2026. A total of 11.21 lakh candidates qualified for admission to undergraduate medical, dental, AYUSH, and allied courses across the country. The results were announced on time to ensure that the medical admission and counselling process remains on schedule.

Following the declaration of the results, the NTA began receiving complaints regarding OMR sheets submitted for scrutiny that were found to be fake or AI-generated.

In response, the National Testing Agency



issued a statement saying it is closely monitoring and scrutinising all such complaints.

The statement reads, ‘NTA is closely monitoring and scrutinizing all complaints. In the wake of many OMR sheets submitted for scrutiny turning out to be fake/AI-generated, students and parents are advised to submit only original OMRs for scrutiny. Any fake / AI-generated OMR may invite legal action against the complainant.’

The NTA's statement comes amid fresh allegations of discrepancies in the NEET UG 2026 re-test results from multiple states.
