A NEET-UG 2026 candidate has moved the Delhi High Court alleging that his score on the NTA portal changed from 650 to 500 and then 135 within 24 hours. Claiming discrepancies in the evaluation process, he has sought production of his original OMR sheet, preservation of digital records, and an independent forensic examination while requesting permission to participate in counselling.

New Delhi: A NEET-UG 2026 candidate has approached the Delhi High Court alleging serious discrepancies in the evaluation process conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), claiming that his score displayed on the official result portal changed three times within less than 24 hours.

The petition, filed through Advocate Vineet Jindal, seeks directions for the production and preservation of the student's original physical OMR answer sheet and other examination-related records to enable independent verification of the evaluation process. The matter is likely to be taken up by the High Court on Friday.

According to the petition, the student appeared in the NEET-UG 2026 examination held on June 21 and, after comparing his recorded responses with the provisional and final answer keys, estimated that he would score around 620 marks.

However, when the results were declared on July 16, the NTA portal allegedly first displayed 650 marks, then 500 marks after the portal logged him out and he logged in again, and finally 135 marks on the following day.
