NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam Live Updates:

The exam timing has been increased by 15 minutes.

NEET Exam 2026 Live Updates: The National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct the NEET UG re-exam on June 21, Sunday. The exam was initially held on May 3, 2026. However, due to an alleged paper leak, the exam was cancelled. Candidates who had registered for the medical entrance exam are allowed to take the NEET UG re-exam.

Candidates are advised to reach the NEET UG examination centre before the gate closing time, as after that entry to the exam will not be allowed under any circumstances. They should also carry important documents like an admit card, a passport-size photograph, and a photo ID (Aahaar, voter ID, PAN, passport, driving license) to the exam centre.

NTA has also extended the timing of the exam from 180 minutes (3 hours) to 195 minutes (3 hours 15 minutes). Along with that, the space for rough work in the question booklet has also increased. Candidates will now get four pages, instead of two pages, which were provided earlier. To improve convenience, especially for left-handed candidates, the layout has been changed: two rough-work pages will be placed immediately after the instruction page at the beginning of the booklet, while the remaining two will be available at the end.

Live Updates

Many states like Odisha, Delhi, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Andhra Pradesh are offering free bus rides to the students who are appearing for the NEET UG exam. This service is given so that students can reach the exam centre without any inconvenience. The admit card will act as the bus ticket for the students.
