Medical students will have their leaves restricted on June 20 and 21, 2026. The National Medical Commission (NMC) issued this order. The restriction aims to prevent misuse of the NEET UG 2026 exam. A re-exam is scheduled for June 21, 2026. Students will not receive leave unless under exceptional, justified circumstances.
NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam Details
The NEET UG 2026 re-exam will take place on Sunday, June 21, 2026. Over 200,000 students are expected to appear. The exam will be conducted in a single session. This session runs from 2 PM to 5:15 PM. The Ministry of Education is overseeing the exam's smooth conduct. Admit cards are available on the official website. Candidates must download their admit cards by June 21, 2026.
Background of the Re-Exam
The original NEET UG 2026 exam occurred on May 3, 2026. It was later canceled. This cancellation followed evidence of paper leaks. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested individuals. These arrests are part of an ongoing investigation into the paper leak. The Ministry of Education faced criticism. The Indian Air Force is assisting in question paper transportation. This measure ensures high security and prevents future leaks. The re-exam will follow the previous exam's protocol.
NMC's Directive to Colleges
Medical colleges must remain vigilant. They must inform students about unfair means. Previous NEET UG exams saw student involvement in malpractice. This affected the exams' integrity. The NMC's order targets preventing further interference. Colleges are instructed to strictly monitor leave requests. Only justified exceptional cases will be considered.
