Though the NTA is yet to give an official date, past trends indicate that the answer key will most probably be published between May 29 and June 2. In the past, the answer key was usually released about three to four weeks following the exam date.

After the release of the final answer key, the result of the NEET UG 2025 and All India Rank (AIR) will be declared by the NTA. This will begin the centralized counseling of MBBS, BDS, and other allied courses through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and respective state bodies.
