OMR sequence corrected, but controversy not over
According to Arya, the issue started on the evening of July 13 when the NTA made the scanned OMR sheets available on its official portal. After downloading the OMR question paper, she said she immediately noticed that the order of questions did not match the paper she was attempting.In a video posted on X, Arya said she compared the answers herself and calculated a score of 609. She then submitted a challenge through the NTA’s official portal, reporting what she said was a sequencing error.According to her, the NTA subsequently updated the OMR sheet on its website and corrected the order of the questions. She claimed that after the correction, her calculated score continued to stand at 609, leading her to believe the problem had been resolved before the results were released.
“My score changed twice in two hours”
Arya claimed that things changed drastically on the day the results were announced.According to her, the first scorecard she visited showed 540 points. She claimed that within the next two hours, the score changed again, this time to 167, which is the score currently displayed on the official website.In the video appeal, Arya said, “I checked my OMR sheet after correction and my score was 609. On the day of the result, I first saw 540 marks and then within two hours it became 167. I have all the screenshots, my corrected OMR sheet and all the documents. I just want my result to be verified fairly.”According to documents cited in media reports, the current score per application is 167 points, which is equivalent to an all-India ranking of 12,52,036 points and a category ranking of 3,67,585 points.
Complaints have been sent to the Prime Minister, Education Minister and NTA
According to media reports, this is Arya’s second attempt at NEET-UG, having also appeared for the 2025 exam before.She said she had emailed the complaint along with screenshots, OMR sheets and other supporting documents to the prime minister, federal education minister and senior officials of the NTA. She appealed through a video, asking authorities to verify her case and examine records before drawing any conclusions.The video has since been widely circulated on social media, with users questioning the candidates’ description of the situation and demanding clarification from the exam authorities.
Why this type of complaint matters
Arya Singh’s allegations surfaced at a time when the NEET-UG 2026 examination witnessed intense scrutiny of OMR sheets and result-related complaints. The NTA recently said investigations into some cases had uncovered AI-generated or tampered OMR sheets and warned that forged documents could lead to legal action. Meanwhile, candidates from across the country continue to lodge complaints with the agency, which they say are backed up by official documents, screenshots and downloaded OMR sheets. Regardless of whether the claims ultimately hold up, each complaint involves a high-stakes exam that determines admission to medical school for hundreds of thousands of students. Therefore, each unresolved case assumes significance and brings renewed focus to the need for transparent and timely resolution by review agencies.
