NEET UG Result 2026: A student from Maharashtra's Beed district has moved the Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court, alleging serious discrepancies in his NEET 2026 result. The petitioner, Soham Gavte, claims that based on his OMR answer sheet and the official answer key, he should have secured 522 marks, but his scorecard issued by the National Testing Agency (NTA) shows only 95 marks.

Representing the student, advocate Mahendra Gandle said the discrepancy came to light after NTA declared the NEET UG 2026 results on July 16. According to the lawyer, evaluation of the OMR sheet using the official answer key indicated a score of 522, while the final scorecard reflected merely 95 marks.

Petition Filed After Finding Merit in Claim

Advocate Gandle stated that after examining the available documents and evidence, his team found merit in the student's claim and therefore filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court. The matter has been listed for hearing on July 23. He added that the student was shocked upon seeing the result and immediately reached out to the NTA seeking an explanation for the massive gap between the expected and declared scores.

Multiple Attempts Made to Contact NTA

The advocate further stated that the student sent seven emails and repeatedly called the agency seeking clarification on the alleged error. Gandle claimed that NTA responded to one of the emails saying the issue would be resolved within 16 hours, but no further action or satisfactory response followed, prompting the student to seek judicial intervention for redressal of his grievance.
