|---|---|
| General Category | ₹1700 |

Re-NEET 2026 Exam Scheduled for June 21
Reports indicate that the NEET UG 2026 re-examination is scheduled to be conducted on June 21, 2026.
NTA is also expected to release city intimation slips and admit cards for the re-examination process separately through the official website.
Honestly, many students have been under stress because repeated updates related to refunds, exam schedules, and re-exam preparations are affecting preparation routines and travel planning.
Candidates Advised to Complete Refund Process Early
Experts advise candidates not to wait until the final day to submit refund details because heavy traffic on the portal may cause technical delays.
Students should also keep screenshots or print copies of confirmation pages after completing the refund process online.
For now, NEET UG 2026 candidates can submit bank account details for fee refunds through the official NTA portal till June 22, 2026.
