Biometric verification and monitoring measures

The NTA stated that Aadhaar-based biometric verification was used to confirm candidates’ identities during the examination. Students who faced technical issues, fingerprint mismatches, or physical difficulties during verification were permitted to appear after manual checking and submission of written declarations.

Officials also monitored social media activity throughout the examination period. More than 65 Telegram channels were reportedly blocked for allegedly sharing fake question papers and misleading claims. Related complaints were forwarded to cyber-crime authorities for further action.

Candidates are advised to regularly visit the official NTA and NEET websites for updates regarding the release of scanned OMR sheets and activation of the answer key objection window.
