The National Testing Agency (NTA) is fine-tuning its final preparations to conduct the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test [NEET (UG)]-2026 Re-Examination this Sunday, June 21, 2026.

The offline NEET exam will take place from 2 PM to 5 PM at designated centers across India. Eligible PwD/PwBD candidates entitled to compensatory time will receive an extension, with their exam period concluding at 6:20 PM. To prevent unfair practices, NTA has enforced enhanced security protocols and a strict biometric verification process.
The NTA released fresh NEET Re-exam Admit Cards reflecting the new venue have been issued on 14 June 2026. Log in to the official portal at neet.nta.nic.in using the credentials to download the updated copy. Check the vital guidelines, permissible items, dress code rules, and a critical eleventh-hour center change notification for NEET UG 2026 below.
What is the Enhanced Security & Mandatory Biometric Verification Guidelines for NEET UG Retest?
In accordance with the stringent guidelines of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, the NTA has mandated a multi-layered security layout at all test centers.
- You must undergo thorough physical frisking before entry.
- Immediately after frisking, you must undergo biometric verification prior to entering the exam hall. Refusal to cooperate without a valid documented reason will be treated as a major violation of exam norms and can attract severe legal action.
- Biometric processing will exclusively take place before the exam begins or after it concludes. You will not be disturbed by biometric logging during active writing hours.
Biometric Exception Provisions
If your biometric verification cannot be completed due to hardware failure, poor data quality, network connectivity issues with central validation servers, or physical limitations, entry will not be denied.
Instead, you will be permitted to sit for the exam after signing a formal written undertaking provided directly by the Centre Superintendent at the venue.
