What is the NEET OMR Sheet?

NEET OMR sheet is an Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheet which is used for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) exam. It is an important document which contains the personal details of the candidate like name, roll number, photograph, signature etc. It is also used by the exam conducting authority to record the answers marked by the candidates. The OMR sheet is pre-printed with a unique ID, the candidate’s name, roll number, gender and other details. The candidate has to mark the answers in the OMR sheet by darkening the appropriate circle with a black ink pen. There is a separate row of bubbles for each question. The entire process is monitored by a software which converts the optical marks into digital data. This data is then analyzed to calculate the marks of the candidate.
