    NEET 2026 Expected Toppers: What Could Prevent Students From Scoring Full Marks?

    After the NTA released the official NEET 2026 answer key on May 6, on neet.nta.nic.in, many students took to Reddit and social media to express concerns regarding the answer to the Physics question. According to several students, the NTA's answer to the NEET 2026 Physics questions does not match the one they believe is correct, leading to confusion among aspirants.

    Additionally, if the answer given by the NTA is ultimately considered correct, many students who expected a perfect score may lose marks because of that question. This could reduce the number of students achieving full marks in NEET 2026.

    NEET 2026 Marking Scheme and Scoring System

    Before understanding the expected topper marks for NEET 2026, students should know how the NEET scoring system works. NEET UG is conducted in offline mode and carries a total of 720 marks.

Here is the official NEET marking scheme followed by NTA:

    Correct Answer: +4 marks
