NTA issues city intimation slips for NEET-UG retake

The National Testing Agency has released city intimation slips for hundreds of thousands of candidates set to retake the NEET-UG medical entrance examination on June 21. The move is a key logistical step for the high-stakes re-examination, which was ordered after the original test was cancelled last month amid a paper leak investigation.

Candidates can now log in to the official NEET portal using their application number and password to view and download the slip, which specifies the city where their test center will be located. The agency emphasized this document is not the final admit card but is intended to help students plan travel and accommodations in advance. The official admit card, containing the exact center address and detailed instructions, is expected to be released separately, reportedly by June 14.

The re-examination will be conducted in pen-and-paper mode from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM IST across 551 cities in India and 14 cities abroad. Officials stated that efforts were made to assign candidates their first-choice city where possible.

This retest follows the cancellation of the initial NEET-UG exam, which was held on May 3 and attempted by over 2.27 million students....
