If you have received an NTA notification to appear in the NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam, here is your action checklist for the next few days:

• Before May 21: Log in to neet.nta.nic.in and submit your city choice. Do not delay — the portal may get slow near the deadline due to heavy traffic.
• After May 21: Keep checking neet.nta.nic.in for your city allotment confirmation and any new notices from NTA.
• From June 14: Download your Admit Card and verify every detail. Report errors to NTA immediately — do not wait for exam day.
• Before June 21 (Exam Day): Reach your exam center at least 60 minutes before reporting time. The gate closes 30 minutes before the exam starts — latecomers are NOT allowed in.
• Preparation: Use this time to revise Biology (highest weightage in NEET), solve previous year papers, and stay stress-free. You have more than 4 weeks to prepare well.

If you have not received any notification from NTA but appeared in NEET UG 2026, this re-exam does not apply to you. Your original score will be valid.
