How to Calculate Your Re-NEET 2026 Score
Score Formula
Total Score = (Correct Answers x 4) – (Wrong Answers x 1)
Unattempted questions = 0 marks. Maximum score = 720. Apply formula separately per subject then add all three.
Step-by-step process
- Download all three subject PDFs from the section above
- Go through each subject answer key and mark each answer as Correct, Wrong or Unattempted
- Count total Correct answers and total Wrong answers per subject
- Apply the formula: (Correct x 4) minus (Wrong x 1) for each subject
- Add Physics + Chemistry + Biology scores to get your total out of 720
- Do not count unattempted answers — they neither add nor reduce marks
| Scenario Example | Correct | Wrong | Unattempted | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best case (Physics) | 40 | 2 | 3 | (40x4) - (2x1) = 158 |
| Average case (Physics) | 30 | 5 | 10 | (30x4) - (5x1) = 115 |
| Biology (well-prepared) | 80 | 3 | 7 | (80x4) - (3x1) = 317 |
| Biology (average) | 60 | 10 | 20 | (60x4) - (10x1) = 230 |
| Chemistry (balanced) | 32 | 6 | 7 | (32x4) - (6x1) = 122 |
Wait for the official key before finalising your score: The NTA provisional answer key is expected around 24 June 2026 on neet.nta.nic.in. If you find any discrepancy between your answer and the key, you can challenge it during the official objection window. The final answer key after all objections is the only basis for the official result.

Frequently Asked Questions
When was the Re-NEET 2026 exam conducted?
Re-NEET 2026 was conducted by NTA on 21 June 2026 (Sunday) in a single shift from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM. This is the rescheduled exam after the original NEET UG 2026 on May 3, 2026 was cancelled due to a confirmed paper leak by NTA.
Where can I download the Re-NEET 2026 answer key and solution PDF?
Download the subject-wise Physics, Chemistry and Biology solution PDFs prepared by Competishun directly from the download section on this page. For the official answer key, visit neet.nta.nic.in once NTA releases the provisional key (expected around 24 June 2026).
What was the overall difficulty of Re-NEET 2026?
Overall difficulty was moderate. Physics was the toughest and most time-consuming section with heavy calculation-based and application-level questions. Chemistry was balanced — Inorganic was NCERT-based while Physical Chemistry was numerical and time-consuming. Biology was the most scoring section with mostly direct NCERT-based questions in both Botany and Zoology.
How to calculate Re-NEET 2026 expected score?
Formula: Total Score = (Correct Answers x 4) minus (Wrong Answers x 1). Unattempted questions get zero marks. Apply this formula separately for Physics (max 180), Chemistry (max 180) and Biology (max 360). Add all three for your total out of 720. Download the Competishun subject PDFs from this page, match your answers, then apply the formula.
When will NTA release the official Re-NEET 2026 answer key?
The NTA provisional answer key is expected around 24 June 2026 (tentative) on neet.nta.nic.in. Candidates can raise objections to any answer during the official challenge window after paying the objection fee. NTA reviews all challenges and releases the final answer key before declaring the result.
Why was Re-NEET 2026 conducted instead of NEET 2026?
The original NEET UG 2026 conducted on May 3, 2026 was cancelled by NTA following a confirmed question paper leak. NTA rescheduled the examination as Re-NEET 2026 on June 21, 2026. All 2026 MBBS and BDS admissions will be based entirely on Re-NEET 2026 performance. The original May 3 exam results carry no validity.
