How to Challenge the NERIST NEE 2027 Answer Key

You can challenge a question or answer option only online, through the admission portal, during the short window NERIST announces.

• In 2026 the window ran from 10 AM on 27 April to 5 PM on 28 April 2026.
• The fee is Rs 500 for each challenge plus charges, paid online. It is not refunded, even if the challenge is accepted.
• Challenges sent by post, email or in person are not accepted.
• If a challenge is accepted, every candidate who took that paper gets the benefit.
• If no challenge is received, the uploaded keys are treated as correct, and the institute’s decision is final.

How to Calculate Your NERIST NEE Score from the Answer Key

Add the marks of every correct answer and subtract one quarter of the marks of every wrong answer. Unattempted questions give zero.

• A correct 1-mark question: +1. A wrong one: -0.25.
• A correct 2-mark question: +2. A wrong one: -0.5.
• NEE-I Mathematics, the NEE-II Engineering and PCB papers, and the NEE-III branch section have 2-mark questions. The NEE-II PCM Science and BBA papers have only 1-mark questions.
• If NERIST drops a faulty question, it awards its marks to everyone. In the 2026 revised NEE-I key, all candidates got 2 marks each for questions 116, 120 and 125.

Your total is out of 150. The selection lists rank candidates by merit within each quota, as explained on the NERIST NEE 2027 result page.
