NEET UG 2026: If you plan to apply for NEET UG, make sure to update these documents and read the NTA guidelines..

NEET UG 2026: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued an important advisory and guidelines for candidates regarding NEET UG 2026 registration. In this advisory, the NTA has clarified that before the application process begins, candidates should carefully check all the information associated with their Aadhaar card and ensure that the Aadhaar is completely valid, updated, and contains correct details.

According to the NTA, the candidate's Aadhaar card must have the correct spelling of the name, date of birth, gender, recent photograph, complete address, and biometric details where required. Any kind of error or incomplete information may cause problems during the application process, which could affect the candidate's registration.

Furthermore, the NTA has also clarified that candidates must possess a valid and renewed Aadhaar card. Candidates who have recently made any changes to their Aadhaar should ensure that the update has been successfully recorded in the UIDAI records.

Category Certificate Must Be Updated

The agency has also instructed that the category certificate (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, etc.) must be completely valid and updated. Applications based on old or invalid certificates may be rejected later. Similarly, it has been stated that Persons with Disabilities (PwBD) candidates must have a valid and updated UDID card.

When will the NEET UG exam be held?
Looking at the exam pattern of previous years, the NEET UG 2026 exam is likely to be held in May. In 2025, the exam was held on May 4, in 2024 on May 5, and in 2023 on May 7. Based on this trend, it is believed that the exam in 2026 may also be held in the first or second week of May, although official confirmation will only be available after the NTA issues a notification.
