Here are the steps to retrieve your lost NEET 2019 scorecard:
Check your Email: Look through your email inbox. Don't forget the spam and promotions folder. There must be an email from NTA mentioning regarding NEET 2019 result or scorecard.
Visit the NTA Website:
Go the official website of NTA.
Look for the section called "NEET".
Look if link is there for download scorecards of previous years. You may be required to provide your application number, birth date and security pin.
Contact NTA Helpdesk:
Send your complaint to the NTA helpdesk through their website or helpline number. Brief your problem clearly and ask for their aid to obtain your scorecard. Don't forget to remember to be able to offer all your NEET application number, your roll number and other details to them.
If you still cannot retrieve your scorecard by above options, then, you may make use of these alternatives:
Apply through RTI Application: You can apply for an RTI, i.e., a Right to Information application to NTA to get a copy of your scorecard. This, in any case, would be a time-consuming process, but somehow, could be useful.
Contact your coaching institute or college: They would probably have a copy of your scorecard or could help you get it from the NTA.
Don't lose hope and keep trying an attempt to get back your scorecard. Keep trying different ways and don't shy away from taking legal help from the concerned authorities.

Hy,
Here are some steps you can take to retrieve your score card or obtain a duplicate:
-
Contact NTA Again : Since you've already contacted the NTA Helpdesk and sent emails, it might be worthwhile to reach out again. Be sure to provide as much detail as possible, such as:
- Your application number
- Roll number
- Date of birth
- Any relevant details about your original score card
-
Make sure you are using the official contact channels listed on the NTA website.
-
Check Online Resources : Visit the official NEET UG website or the NTA website to see if there are any options for downloading your score card directly. Sometimes, previous years' score cards may still be available for download, especially if the website has an archive feature.
-
Request a Reissue via Email : If your emails to NTA have not received responses, consider:
- Using a different email address.
- Sending your request from a professional email or a university email, if applicable.
- Clearly stating the urgency of your request and referencing any previous correspondence.
-
Use RTI (Right to Information) : If you still don’t get a response, you can file an RTI application to seek information regarding your score card. This method can sometimes prompt quicker action from government bodies like NTA.
-
Explore Alternative Documents : If obtaining the score card proves difficult, check if you can submit alternative documentation. Sometimes, other documents proving your NEET score (like admission letters or even official communications) can be considered. Check with the FMGE authorities to see what they accept as substitutes.
-
Contact Other Students or Forums : Sometimes, students who have faced similar issues can provide valuable advice. Online forums or student groups might have individuals who have successfully retrieved their score cards.
-
Seek Help from Authorities : If none of the above works, consider reaching out to the FMGE authority directly to explain your situation and ask for guidance on what to do if you cannot produce the score card.
By following these steps, you should hopefully be able to resolve the issue and get the required documentation for your FMGE exam.
