The National Testing Agency ( NTA) has announced today the re-examination of NEET UG 2026 on 21st June. In a social media post, the agency has requested candidates and parents to rely only on the official channels of NTA.
Earlier, the exam, which was held on 3rd of this month, was cancelled due to an alleged paper leak and CBI is investigating the matter.
The National Testing Agency has opened the refund facility for candidates who appeared in the cancelled NEET-UG 2026 exam. Students can submit bank details online before May 27. The move follows cancellation of the exam amid alleged paper leak and irregularities
New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has activated the refund facility for candidates who appeared in the cancelled NEET-UG 2026 examination held on May 3. Students can now submit their bank account details through the official website to claim a refund of the examination fee.
According to the official notification, the refund option has been made available on the NEET-UG 2026 registration portal. Candidates who had registered for the examination can log in using their application credentials and access the dedicated refund link to complete the process.
To receive the refund, applicants are required to provide essential banking details, including the account holder’s name, bank name, account number, and IFSC code. Candidates also have the option to upload a scanned copy of a cancelled cheque to help ensure the accuracy of the submitted information.
The NTA clarified that once the bank details are submitted, they will be treated as final, and no corrections or modifications will be allowed afterwards. Candidates have been advised to carefully verify all information before submission.
The deadline for submitting bank details for the refund process is May 27, 2026, until 11:50 P.M.
The refund process comes after the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 examination following allegations of irregularities and a question paper leak. The controversy sparked widespread concern among students and parents across the country and led to multiple investigations, including a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
The original NEET-UG 2026 examination was conducted on May 3 for admissions to undergraduate medical courses across India. However, the exam was later scrapped after reports surfaced that certain individuals had allegedly gained access to the question paper before the examination and distributed it to candidates in exchange for money.
Investigating agencies have so far arrested 11 individuals in connection with the case.
Following the cancellation, the NTA announced that the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination will now be conducted on June 21. The examination will take place from 2:00 P.M. to 5:15 P.M. (IST), including the time allotted for examination formalities.
Candidates have been advised to regularly visit the official NTA website for updates related to the refund process and the re-examination schedule.
Another key accused, identified as Manisha Sanjay Havaldar, has been arrested by the CBI after extensive interrogation in connection with the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case.
Havaldar, who is currently employed at Seth Hiralal Saraf Prashala in Pune, Maharashtra, was allegedly involved in the NEET-UG 2026 examination process as an expert appointed by the National Testing Agency (NTA). According to the CBI, she had complete access to the Physics question papers.
The agency alleged that during April 2026, she shared several Physics questions related to the NEET exam with co-accused Manisha Mandhare, who was arrested earlier on May 16
Investigators said the questions allegedly shared by Havaldar matched those that eventually appeared in the Physics sections of multiple NEET UG paper sets.
As part of the ongoing investigation, the CBI has conducted searches at several locations across the country and seized multiple incriminating materials, including laptops, mobile phones, bank statements, and documents. Officials said forensic and technical analysis of the seized material is currently underway.
The CBI had registered the case on May 12, following a written complaint from the Department of Higher Education under the Ministry of Education regarding the alleged leak of NEET-UG 2026 question papers. Soon after the FIR was filed, special investigation teams were formed and raids were conducted at multiple locations nationwide. Several suspects were subsequently detained and questioned.
Amid uncertainty following the NEET question paper leak, the Karnataka government has decided to begin the Common Entrance Test (CET) counselling process ahead of NEET-based admissions, departing from its longstanding practice of conducting both simultaneously.
The announcement was made by Karnataka Higher Education Minister MC Sudhakar after a meeting with private college representatives and officials from the higher and medical education departments on Thursday.
Under the revised plan, counselling for eight CET-linked programmes — led by engineering courses — will proceed independently. Admissions to medical, dental, and AYUSH courses will be taken up separately after the NEET admission process is completed, Sudhakar said.
Usually, NEET and CET counselling are conducted simultaneously. However, with the NEET re-examination now scheduled for June 21 and results expected only by late July or even August, the Karnataka government said it would not be practical to delay CET counselling because of the postponed medical entrance process
As a result, Karnataka has decided to go ahead with CET counselling independently. The move follows similar decisions by Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, both of which have already proceeded with engineering admissions, citing delays in the NEET timeline.
Sudhakar also said candidates will be allowed to participate in three rounds of counselling across engineering, medical, dental, and AYUSH admissions.
“Consider a student who secures an engineering seat during CET counselling, only to later qualify for a medical programme through NEET. That student can now make the switch without penalty. Equally important, the vacated engineering seat does not go unused — it flows back into the pool and becomes accessible to others seeking upgradation,” said an official.
The financial arrangements surrounding these switches have also been addressed. Students who exit engineering programmes to join medical colleges will receive a complete refund of fees already paid. Private colleges have committed to extending the same courtesy in reverse — reimbursing students who take over seats freed up by those who moved to medical courses.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) will open the online module for submitting bank account details to claim a refund of the NEET UG 2026 examination fee. Earlier, the agency had said it would open the link on May 21, however, the link is not active yet. As part of the refund process, NTA will activate a dedicated portal at neet.nta.nic.in – through which candidates can provide their valid bank account information for reimbursement of the examination fee paid earlier. Once the module is live, students will have to log in and submit the required banking details to receive the refund.

NTA has allowed candidates to change their preferred exam city due to relocation or a change in their present address. The official website will be keeping the link active to update the city centre till May 21, 2026, up to 11:50 pm. The agency also informed candidates that the examination centre allotted for the re-exam may differ from the earlier centre since allotment will depend on the updated city choices and availability of centres.
