NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam Admit Card Released for June 21 Test

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the admit cards for the NEET UG 2026 re-examination, which is scheduled to be held on June 21, 2026. Students who are slated to appear for this crucial re-test can now download their hall tickets from the official NEET website, neet.nta.nic.in. To access their admit cards, candidates will need to log in using their application number and password or date of birth. This re-examination comes after the original NEET UG 2026 examination, conducted on May 3, 2026, was cancelled due to widespread allegations of a paper leak. The decision to cancel and re-conduct the exam was taken after a review of inputs received and findings shared by law enforcement agencies, underscoring the NTA's commitment to maintaining the integrity of the examination process. The NTA has also provided detailed guidelines and instructions for the re-examination day to ensure a smooth and fair conduct of the test. These include specific reporting times, a prescribed dress code, and a list of prohibited items. Candidates are advised to reach their examination centres well before the reporting time, which is typically between 11:00 AM and 1:30 PM, with entry gates closing strictly at 1:30 PM. The dress code mandates simple, light-coloured clothing with half sleeves. Full-sleeved clothing or woollens are generally not permitted unless required for customary or religious reasons, in which case candidates must report early for thorough frisking. Footwear should be simple slippers or low-heeled sandals, with closed shoes and thick-soled footwear being prohibited. Essential documents to be carried include a printed copy of the admit card, one original valid photo identity proof (such as Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Passport, or Voter ID), and two passport-size photographs (matching those uploaded in the application form). Additionally, a postcard-sized photograph is required to be pasted on the attendance sheet. Candidates are allowed to carry a transparent water bottle. However, electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, cameras, pagers, and earphones are strictly prohibited inside the examination hall. The re-examination duration has been extended to 195 minutes, with the exam scheduled from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM. The NTA has also introduced student-friendly measures, such as providing four rough-work pages within the question booklet. Over one lakh students have reportedly downloaded their admit cards, indicating significant participation in the re-exam. The NTA has also advised candidates to avoid believing rumours about paper leaks and to report any suspicious messages to the authorities. The NTA plans to release the results by July 20, 2026, ensuring the academic session for MBBS students is not delayed. The counselling process is expected to commence shortly after the results are declared. This entire process highlights the NTA's efforts to address the irregularities and restore faith in the examination system.
