NEET UG 2026: Do Not Rely on Google Maps; No Entry After 1:30 PM — New Guidelines Issued for NEET UG..

NEET UG 2026 Advisory: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued an important advisory for candidates appearing for the NEET UG 2026 examination. The exam is scheduled to be held on May 3, 2026, and ahead of this date, the agency has advised candidates to exercise caution regarding their examination centers.

The issued notification states that the locations of certain examination centers may be displayed inaccurately on platforms such as Google Maps. Consequently, candidates have been advised not to rely solely on the location pins displayed on the map.

**Treat the Address on the Admit Card as Definitive**
The NTA has clarified that candidates should consider the full address of the examination center—as provided on their admit cards—to be the definitive and correct address. Candidates are advised to thoroughly verify this address before the exam and, if possible, ascertain the exact location of the center in advance to avoid any inconvenience on the day of the examination.

**What Should Candidates Do?**
The agency has also issued several essential instructions for candidates:

*   Carefully read and cross-check the full address provided on the admit card.
*   Confirm the location of the examination center in advance.
*   Plan your travel arrangements ahead of time.

**Pay Special Attention to Timings**
According to the NTA, the reporting time for the examination center will be from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. It has been explicitly stated that no candidate will be granted entry into the examination center after 1:30 PM.

**Arrive Early**
Candidates are advised to leave home with ample time to spare, taking into account potential delays caused by traffic, weather conditions (including the possibility of rain in certain regions), or other unforeseen circumstances. The agency has urged all candidates to remain calm, plan, and reach the examination center on time to ensure that the examination process is completed smoothly.
