The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the NEET UG 2026 re-examination for Sunday, June 21, 2026. The offline, paper-pencil test will run from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM across India.
Admit Card Available
As of June 14, 2026, the NTA has released the admit cards. Candidates can download them from neet.nta.nic.in . Select 'Admit Card' under the Candidate Activity section and enter your details. A printed copy is mandatory for entry.
Telegram Ban Implemented
The government has temporarily banned Telegram in India from June 21 to June 22, 2026. This measure aims to prevent potential paper leaks during the re-examination. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued the restriction under Section 69A of the IT Act.
Telegram's message-editing feature is also disabled nationwide until June 30. This prevents the creation and spread of fake leak claims. Authorities warn that believing or spreading false leak information is a criminal offense.
Exam Day Guidelines
Entry to examination centers opens at 11:00 AM . Gates close strictly at 1:30 PM . Latecomers will not be permitted entry.
Required Documents
- Printed admit card
- Two passport-size photographs
- Valid government-issued ID proof
- PwBD certificate (if applicable)
Candidates should arrive at least two hours before the exam. This allows time to navigate potential traffic and complete security checks.
Security Measures
The re-examination process includes enhanced security protocols. These involve Indian Air Force transport of test booklets and separation of paper setters. Biometric verification is conducted at entry points. CCTV cameras monitor the entire examination hall.
Strict restrictions are in place at exam centers. These include frisking and a ban on handbags and purses.
Candidate Advice
Focus on your preparation using official NTA materials. Report any solicitations related to paper leaks immediately to the authorities.
