New Delhi: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has released the final answer key and scorecards for the NEET PG 2025 examination in compliance with the Supreme Court’s earlier directions.
However, the move has triggered widespread disappointment among aspirants, who allege that the release was a mere “formality” to comply with the Apex Court’s order.
Many candidates took to social media questioning the utility and transparency of the answer key, pointing out that it was released after the results and contained only question IDs with corresponding answers, without displaying the actual questions.
“What’s the point in releasing such an answer key? Just to save themselves from Supreme Court order! We are magically supposed to remember all 200 questions, their order, and the options we marked,” wrote the X handle NEET PG Marks Discrepancy.
Echoing the sentiment, Dr. Vinod Bagra highlighted that the answer key lacked actual questions and instead used numerical IDs, making it difficult for candidates to verify correctness.
The release also invited mockery online, with one user likening it to school exam days where students were allowed to “just count marks in the name of checking papers,” while another compared it to Morse Code, joking that “NMC has introduced Morse Code as a new MBBS subject to decode the NEET PG answer key.”
For years, NEET-PG aspirants have demanded timely release of answer keys to ensure transparency in the exam process. Several petitions were filed before the Supreme Court, which on April 29, 2025, ordered NBEMS to publish the raw scores, answer keys, and normalisation formula used in multi-shift NEET PG exams.
In compliance, NBEMS has now published the correct answer key and individual candidate responses.
The NEET PG 2025 exam was conducted on August 3, 2025, and results were declared on August 29, 2025.
