# NTA allows re-issuance of lost or damaged scorecards 2026-09-23T17:41:51+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Wednesday said candidates can apply for re-issuance of scorecards for exams like NEET-UG, JEE Main, CUET and UGC-NET if the document has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. The NTA advised candidates to first check if the scorecard is available on DigiLocker. If not, they must download Annexure-I from the portal and submit it with required documents. The application can be emailed to result@nta.gov.in or posted to the NTA's Delhi office. The duplicate scorecard will be issued after verification of records. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The NTA conducts over 20 entrance exams annually, serving lakhs of students. With physical scorecards often required for college admissions and job applications, a lost document could delay a candidate's career. The DigiLocker integration, mandated by the government in 2016 as a valid document storage platform, reduces the need for physical re-issuance for most users. For those who still need a duplicate, the postal option may take weeks, while the email route is faster. Candidates should watch for processing times mentioned in the NTA's reply after submission. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com Tags: CUET, DigiLocker, JEE Main, National Testing Agency, NEET-UG, UGC NET Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/nta-allows-re-issuance-of-lost-or-damaged-scorecards/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
