The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the opening of the fee refund portal for candidates affected by the cancellation of the NEET UG 2026 exam, originally scheduled for May 3, 2026. The re-examination is set for June 21, 2026, and will feature an extended duration, allowing candidates an additional 15 minutes for paperwork and verification procedures before the exam begins at 2 PM. Importantly, candidates will not incur any extra fees, and their existing registration data will be retained, eliminating the need for new applications. The exam will be conducted in thirteen languages, ensuring accessibility for all candidates. The NTA has also addressed concerns regarding language availability in exam cities, stating that modifications to the chosen exam format are not permitted. Candidates facing issues during the initial exam are encouraged to reach out to the NTA Helpdesk for assistance. The NTA has assured that the re-exam schedule will not change, despite concerns about overlaps with other competitive exams.
