To help candidates understand the general timeline, here’s a look at the answer key release pattern over the past five years:
| Year | NEET UG Exam Date | Provisional Answer Key Release Date | Final Answer Key Release Date |
| 2024 | May 5 | May 30,2024 | July 26, 2024 |

As seen in the table, the NTA generally releases the provisional answer key within two to four weeks of the exam date, providing ample time for students to review and challenge responses if needed. The final answer key is typically issued within one to three weeks after the provisional key, following a review of the challenges.
In addition to the NEET answer key 2025, NTA will also be releasing the candidates’ NEET OMR response sheets. NTA is yet to announce any date for the release of the answer key. NEET UG result 2025 date is June 14.
According to students who took the test on May 4 and experts in the field, the questions in the NEET UG 2025 exam were more difficult compared to previous years. Many candidates found the overall paper more time-consuming and conceptually demanding. The questions followed the pre-Covid pattern, and the increased complexity, especially in physics and chemistry, made scoring high marks difficult.
