NTA Warns of Action Over Fabricated NEET OMR Sheets
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has stated that several OMR sheets circulating online, purportedly related to NEET-UG 2026 results, are fabricated and digitally altered, some using AI. The NTA claims these fabrications are intended to create a false narrative of poor performance. The agency has identified five students who allegedly submitted these altered documents and warned of criminal action, including result cancellation and debarment, against those found responsible. The NTA has asserted that the original OMR sheets of these candidates were evaluated correctly.
