A NEET-UG 2026 aspirant from Kanpur claims her calculated score changed from 609 to 167 after the National Testing Agency corrected the OMR sheet question sequence.
The aspirant, Arya Singh, says she initially calculated 609 marks after the OMR was released, then the NTA updated the sheet, leading to a score of 540 and later 167.
