NTA has Released Provisional Answer Key 2026

The provisional answer key for NEET 2026, the country’s largest medical entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), was released on 06 May, Wednesday. Students will also be given the opportunity to raise objections.

Students compared their answers. They discussed the answers to these questions with experts from ALLEN Career Institute, and subsequently, the answer to one question emerged, where the opinions of NTA, ALLEN Career Institute experts, and students differed.

Vinod Kumawat, President of Allen Kota, stated that students have raised objections to the answer of a Physics question in the provisional answer key. This question was related to the topic “Significant Figure.”

According to students and subject experts, the answer released by the NTA does not comply with the rules of scientific calculations. Students across the country have submitted objections to the NTA regarding this matter.

Wrong Answer in Round Off

According to experts, after doing the calculations in the question, the value of x is obtained as 7.654. ​​If it is rounded off to two significant figures, then the correct answer should be 7.7, whereas the answer given in the provisional answer key of NTA is 7.6. Subject experts say that as per the rules of significant figures, if 7.654 is expressed up to two significant figures, then the final answer will be considered as 7.7 only.
