17.7 Safe Custody of OMR Sheet & Score Card in DigiLocker

The Confirmation Page of Candidates will also be easily accessible to them in DigiLocker at
https://digilocker.gov.in, if they give consent at the time of submission of online application for
the storage of their data in DigiLocker.
The Admit Cards of the Candidates will also be easily accessible to them in the DigiLocker at
https://digilocker.gov.in, if they provide their consent at the time of online application for the
storage of their application data.

The scanned copy of the original OMR Answer Sheet and Score Card of the Candidates of
NEET (UG) will be kept in the safe custody of DigiLocker [maintained by the Ministry of
Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY)] for the easy access of the same by the

59
respective candidates at : https://digilocker.gov.in, on the basis of their consent given at the
time of submission of online application.

Targeted at the idea of paperless governance, DigiLocker is a platform for issuance and
verification of documents and certificates in a digital way, thus eliminating the use of physical
documents. Indian citizens who sign up for a DigiLocker account get a dedicated cloud storage
space that is linked to their Aadhaar (UIDAI) number. Organizations that are registered with
Digital Locker can push electronic copies of documents and certificates (e.g. driving license,
Voter ID, School certificates) directly into citizens lockers. Citizens can also upload scanned
copies of their legacy documents in their accounts. These legacy documents can be electronically
signed using the eSign facility.
The benefits of DigiLocker includes the following:

1. Candidates can access their documents, such as, Confirmation page of the online
Application Form, Admit Card, OMR Answer Sheet, Score Card etc. anytime and
anywhere from their respective DigiLocker. This is convenient and time saving.
2. In case a Candidate forgets his User ID or Password to access required information /
data from NEET (UG) Portal, he/ she can easily retrieve his/ her Application No. /
Registered Mobile No. from his / her DigiLocker account and access the portal.
3. DigiLocker makes it easier for the Candidates to validate the authenticity of their
documents as they are issued directly by the registered issuers.
4. Self-uploaded documents can be digitally signed using the eSign facility (which is
similar to the process of self-attestation).
