- As part of the refund process, NTA will activate a dedicated portal at neet.nta.nic.in – through which candidates can provide their valid bank account information for reimbursement of the examination fee paid earlier. Once the module is live, students will have to log in and submit the required banking details to receive the refund.
- The re-examination is being conducted after the cancellation of the earlier NEET UG 2026 exam held on May 3 amid allegations of a paper leak and other irregularities. Over 22 lakh candidates are expected to appear for the re-test, which will be held in pen-and-paper mode on June 21 from 2 pm to 5:15 pm.
- In its FAQ document, the NTA clarified that the medium of examination chosen during the original application process cannot be changed at this stage.
