NTA Faces Fresh Complaints Over NIFT 2026 Scorecards

Overview

• The NTA declared NIFT results on June 3, and students have since posted claims that their published marks, attendance entries and biometric records do not match what happened at exam centres.
• Multiple students say some candidates who attended the Stage 2 Situation Test were marked absent while others who did not sit were shown as present and awarded scores.
• Complaints focus sharply on the Creative Ability Test, where candidates reported unexpectedly low marks and have no answer key to cross-check their work.
• The NTA says it received 15 direct grievances out of nearly 12,000 candidates, that those cases were handled under standard protocol and that notifications were sent to complainants.
• The dispute is feeding wider distrust of the testing agency after recent NEET and CUET controversies and could prompt renewed calls for audits or further review as students say many issues remain unresolved.
