Regarding claims about Shri Avaneesh Srivastava (App No. 260411198880, Roll No. 2001805051) and his NEET (UG) 2026 OMR answer sheet: NTA has verified the record. The genuine OMR of the candidate is on file. It was also emailed to him at the registered e-mail address during the OMR Response Key challenge window. It bears the candidate’s correct name (Avaneesh Srivastava), the name of his father (Mukesh Kumar) and the name of his mother (Rekha Kumari), his signature and thumb impression, and the signatures of the invigilators. The image being circulated is not an OMR sheet issued by NTA. The identity inserted into that image ("Ajeet Singh, son of Shri Lakhan Singh and Smt. Reena Singh") does not correspond to any candidate registered for NEET (UG) 2026. No candidate by that name and parentage exists in the NEET (UG) 2026 database. The image is a digitally regenerated version of the candidate’s own genuine OMR sheet. The identity fields have been overwritten, and the printed portion of the sheet has been regenerated by AI or OCR-based tools, producing visible errors on portions of the genuine OMR sheet and cannot be altered by any candidate with a pen. The candidate’s own OMR sheet on record has been correctly evaluated. The score of 337 marks is verified and stands as declared. Creating or circulating a forged OMR answer sheet is an offence under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024. More details on the Public Notice dated 20 July 2026:
