NEET UG 2026: Portal Opens for PwD Candidates to Submit Scribe Details at neet.nta.nic.in

Heads Up: The NEET UG 2026 Scribe Portal is Live!
If you’re a Person with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) heading into the NEET UG 2026 on May 3, listen up. The National Testing Agency (NTA) just activated the window for you to submit your scribe’s personal details. This isn’t a suggestion; it’s a hard requirement if you plan to bring your own scribe to the exam center.
The portal officially opened on April 16, following some specific court directions to ensure everyone has a fair shot. You’ve got a very small window to get this right. No one likes last-minute tech glitches, so get onto the official NEET website sooner rather than later.

Are You Eligible to Use the Portal?
This part is non-negotiable. The "Register Scribe Details" button isn't going to show up for everyone. You only get access if:
- You belong to the PwD/PwBD category.
- You actually checked the "own scribe" box when you first applied for NEET months ago.
- You have your exam city intimation slip and are ready to finalize the scribe's info.
If you didn't opt for your own scribe in the original form, you won't see the link. NTA is being incredibly strict here—no late entries or edits after the April 21 deadline.
How to Get It Done
Don't make it complicated. Just follow these steps:
- Head to neet.nta.nic.in and log in with your application number and password.
- Look for the ‘Register Scribe Details’ button on your candidate dashboard.
- Fill in the scribe's name and any other required personal info accurately.
- Review everything! Errors can lead to your scribe being turned away on exam day.
- Once you hit submit, double-check that the details appear on your final confirmation page.
Need Help?
If the site is acting up or you're stuck, NTA has a help desk. You can reach them at 011-40759000 or 011-69227700. You can also drop an email to neetug2026@nta.ac.in.
The Takeaway
NTA usually isn't in the business of granting extensions. Since the exam is barely two weeks away, this is likely your final chance to ensure your accommodations are in place. Take ten minutes today to verify your scribe’s info so you can spend the rest of your time focusing on the actual biology, chemistry, and physics.
