Following the probe, the NTA warned that it would initiate legal action against candidates found to be spreading false allegations or using manipulated documents to discredit the examination process.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>The controversy began when a student from Pune alleged he had received two different OMR sheets: one downloaded from the NTA website on the night of July 13 and another emailed to him on July 15. <!-- -->Although both had his name, they contained different responses.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>\u201cWhen we checked the OMR my son downloaded on July 13 against the official answer key, we calculated a score of 707 out of 720. But when the results were announced, he received just 217 marks based on the second OMR sheet,\u201d the boy\u2019s father said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>In a separate case in Beed, a student claimed that while his OMR sheet matched the one uploaded by the NTA, he was awarded only 95 marks. He alleged that based on the final answer key, his actual score should have been 522.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>After examining the documents provided by the Pune student, the NTA officials declared the OMR sheet in question to be AI-generated. Regarding the Beed student\u2019s case, officials concluded that the OMR sheet had been tampered with.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The agency posted on its official X handle, \u201cNTA is closely monitoring and scrutinising all complaints. In the wake of many OMR sheets submitted for scrutiny turning out to be fake\/AI generated, students and parents are advised to submit only original OMRs for scrutiny. Any fake\/AI generated OMR may invite legal action against the complainant.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Out of approximately 20 lakh students who appeared for the
