Doha, Qatar: Qatar-based Indian students who appeared for the country’s pre-medical entrance test, National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET 2024), were in a panic since Thursday, May 30, 2024.

As the National Testing Agency (NTA) released the provisional answer key and the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheets for the exams that were conducted in first week of May, Doha students could neither view their OMR sheets, nor the answer key online.   

The students were unable to access their OMR sheet on the student portal, which caused alarm among them and their parents, finally missing their 11am deadline today, June 1, 2024. 

Indian Embassy in Qatar promptly took up the issue with the NTA, confirming through its official account, that "the OMR and answer key will be received on the registered email of the individual student and he/she can challenge it by an email response, if the same is not already done through the website."

Indian Embassy official told The Peninsula that there could be a delay of a day or two since the NTA has to sort the answer sheets of approximately 600 Doha-based students and contact those respective students.
