The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially opened the correction window for NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination candidates, allowing aspirants to update their present address and preferred examination cities ahead of the fresh exam scheduled for June 21.
The move comes after the earlier NEET-UG 2026 examination was cancelled following concerns related to irregularities and paper leak allegations. The re-exam will now be conducted on Sunday, June 21, 2026, in pen-and-paper mode across the country.
