NTA has already released the provisional answer key for Re-NEET 2026 on 25 June 2026, and the final/original answer key will be published along with the result , for which the agency has only said “by July 20, 2026” and not given an exact date yet.

Quick Scoop

  • Re-NEET 2026 exam date: 21 June 2026.
  • Provisional Re-NEET 2026 answer key: released on 25 June 2026 at neet.nta.nic.in.
  • Objection/challenge window: closed on 28 June 2026.
  • Final (original) answer key: “To be announced” , will be issued with the result after challenges are checked.
  • Re-NEET 2026 result: NTA officials and multiple reports say it will be declared by 20 July 2026.

In simple terms:

Final/original answer key date has not been officially fixed, but it is expected just before or on the same day as the Re-NEET 2026 result, which NTA is targeting on or before 20 July 2026.

What “original answer key” means here

Many news and exam portals are calling the provisional key the “answer key”, but technically:

  • NTA first releases a provisional answer key so students can raise objections.
  • After reviewing those objections, NTA releases the final (this is what most students call the “original”) answer key.
  • This final key is issued along with the result , and the scores are calculated strictly based on this key.

For Re-NEET 2026, the timeline matches this standard pattern: provisional key already out; final key still pending.

Expected timeline for final answer key

From the Re-NEET 2026 schedule and past NEET trends:

  • Re-NEET 2026 exam: 21 June
  • Provisional key: 25 June (4 days after exam)
  • Result: “by July 20” (as per NTA officials quoted in multiple reports)

In earlier years, the final answer key is usually released on the same day as the result or just a few hours before it.

So for Re-NEET 2026, you should practically expect:

Final/original answer key = around the same time as result, i.e., on or before 20 July 2026 (exact day not announced yet).

  1. Check neet.nta.nic.in once daily till 20 July.
