NEET PG 2026 Answer Key Sparks Outcry: Candidates Call it 'Deception,' IMA Challenges in SC
- •NBEMS released the NEET PG 2026 answer key on October 1, but candidates are calling it a 'mere show' due to limited information provided.
- •Candidates claim the answer key only displays question IDs and limited details, making it difficult to verify evaluation or understand transparency.
- •The order of questions and options varies for each candidate, making the provided question and answer IDs unhelpful without the actual questions.
- •NBEMS stated no questions were technically incorrect, leaving no window for candidates to raise objections to the answers.
- •Dr. Dhruv Chauhan of IMA-JDN has challenged the answer key in the Supreme Court, demanding greater transparency with full question papers and correct answers.
Key Questions Answered
Candidates and the IMA are criticizing the NEET PG 2026 answer key because it only provides question IDs and limited information rather than complete question papers and correct answers, making independent verification impossible.
The answer key displays section-wise question IDs in the candidate's order, answer statuses, correct answer key IDs, options chosen by candidates, and marks awarded according to the marking scheme.
Dr. Dhruv Chauhan, representing the IMA Junior Doctors Network, has approached the Supreme Court with a petition demanding greater transparency, the release of full question papers with answers, and an official objection window.
