Mumbai: Bombay high court on Thursday issued a notice to the Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA) in a plea filed by a student who said, based on the OMR sheet downloaded from the agency’s website, her score for NEET-UG 2026 should have been 410 when compared with the official answer key but it was much less.HC posted the matter on Aug 6 to hear NTA, which was not represented by any lawyer on Thursday. The student’s advocate, Vivek Arote, said there was urgency in the matter as admission rounds would start soon and she was keen to join the Bachelor of Dental Surgery course. She said her aspirations and career are at stake and the “error” ought to be corrected.After the results were declared, the petitioner said she sent five email representations to NTA from July 17, which elicited no reply. The petition seeks directions to NTA for re-assessment and rectification of marks and also for her original OMR sheet to be produced before HC.
