The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the city intimation slip for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination, scheduled for June 21. Candidates can now check which city their exam centre will be in, with the admit card to be issued separately at a later date.
According to a public notice from NTA, the re-exam will run from 2 pm to 5:15 pm in pen-and-paper mode. It will be held across 551 cities in India and 14 cities abroad, making it one of the widest-spread single-day medical entrance tests in the country.
The city intimation slip is not the same as the admit card. It tells candidates only which city their exam centre will be in, not the specific venue or hall. The admit card, which carries the exact centre address and candidate details, will be released by NTA at a later date. Candidates should not expect to sit the exam using only the city slip.
The gap between the city slip and the admit card release is standard NTA practice. It gives candidates enough time to arrange travel and accommodation before the exact venue is confirmed. However, because the admit card timeline has not been specified yet, candidates should monitor the official NTA website closely for updates.
NEET-UG is the national entrance test for undergraduate medical admissions in India. The fact that NTA is conducting a re-examination on June 21 points to a subset of candidates being asked to re-sit the test, though the public notice does not specify the reason or the number of candidates affected. Re-examinations under NEET-UG have previously been ordered in cases where exam integrity issues were identified at specific centres.
The pen-and-paper format is the standard mode for NEET-UG. Unlike computer-based tests, it requires physical infrastructure at a large number of venues simultaneously, which explains the wide city coverage across more than 550 domestic locations and overseas centres.
For candidates appearing on June 21, the priority now is to confirm their assigned city through the NTA portal and begin logistical planning. The admit card, once released, will be the document needed for entry on exam day. NTA has not announced a specific date for the admit card, so checking the official notice board regularly is the only reliable way to stay current.
Medical aspirants affected by this re-exam should also note that results and subsequent counselling timelines may shift depending on when this round is completed and processed. No updated counselling schedule has been announced alongside this notice.
