24 Apr
Summary
- Medical students banned from taking leave on May 2 and May 3.
- NEET UG 2026 exam is scheduled for May 3, 2026.
- NMC warns students against actions compromising exam integrity.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a directive preventing medical students from taking leave on May 2 and May 3, 2026. This measure is in response to a letter from the National Testing Agency (NTA), the body conducting the NEET UG 2026 examination.
The NMC has instructed all medical colleges to remain vigilant and sensitize students regarding activities that could potentially compromise the sanctity of the upcoming NEET UG 2026 exam, which is scheduled for May 3, 2026. This action stems from previous occurrences where student actions were found to have affected the examination's integrity.
NEET UG is India's crucial national entrance exam for undergraduate medical courses. The 2026 examination will take place on Sunday, May 3, in a single shift from 2 pm to 5 pm. The NTA is set to release the NEET UG 2026 admit card on April 26, 2026, which will contain detailed information about the exam centre and necessary instructions.
