The National Testing Agency (NTA) has outlined a strict dress code for candidates taking the NEET UG 2026 exam on May 3, 2026. To ensure fairness and security, candidates are required to wear simple, light-colored clothing with half sleeves. Both male and female candidates must avoid heavy embroidery, large buttons, and zipped outfits, as these items may complicate security checks. Female candidates are encouraged to wear simple salwar, trousers, or light tops, while male candidates should opt for light-colored shirts or t-shirts paired with plain trousers or jeans. Footwear rules are also strict; candidates can only wear open slippers or sandals, and closed shoes are prohibited. Additionally, all forms of accessories and jewelry, including watches and bracelets, are banned to prevent delays during security checks. Candidates wearing traditional attire, such as hijabs, should arrive by 11:00 AM for extra security screening time. It is crucial for candidates to follow these guidelines closely to avoid any inconvenience on exam day.
