The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Friday has announced that the re-examination of NEET (UG) 2026, with the approval of the Government of India. The NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination will be now held on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
The NTA has advised candidates appearing for the UGC-NET June 2026 examination to complete their application process before the registration portal closes on May 20, 2026 at 11:50 p.m. Candidates who are yet to submit their forms have been asked to fill out the online application, pay the prescribed examination fee, and download the confirmation page for future reference.
NTA said candidates must carefully verify all details entered in the application form before making the fee payment, as no changes will be allowed later. Only those candidates who have successfully paid the fee will be treated as having completed the application process.
The NTA had on Tuesday announced the cancellation of NEET-UG and said the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) would carry out a comprehensive inquiry into the alleged irregularities linked to the exam.
"The National Testing Agency, with the approval of the Government of India, has scheduled the re-examination of NEET (UG) 2026 on Sunday, 21 June 2026," a senior official said.
The announcement came after a high-level meeting was held late on Thursday evening at the residence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to review preparations for conducting the exam afresh.
