All the exit polls for Lok Sabha elections turned out to be wrong as the BJP-led NDA's performance was far below the forecast of exit polls.
India Today-Axis My India had forecast 361-401 seats for the BJP-led alliance and 131-166 seats for the opposition INDIA bloc.
Exit polls conducted immediately after voters leave polling stations offer immediate insight into the outcome of elections.

The polls did not anticipate INDIA bloc’s tremendous performance in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Maharashtra and West Bengal.
