NEET 2026 Exam Gets Major Candidate-Friendly Upgrades
12 Jun
Summary
- Exam window extended by 195 minutes for candidate comfort.
- Rough work pages doubled from two to four for ample calculations.
- Rough work pages repositioned for better accessibility.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has introduced several candidate-friendly modifications for the upcoming NEET (UG) 2026 examination, set to occur on June 21, 2026. These changes aim to enhance the student experience while upholding exam integrity.
The examination window has been extended, providing an additional 195 minutes. It will now commence at 2:00 pm and conclude at 5:15 pm. This adjustment ensures that time allocated for administrative procedures does not encroach upon the time available for candidates to complete their papers.
In response to student feedback, the NTA has increased the number of rough work pages within the question booklet from two to four. This provides greater space for necessary calculations and diagrams. To further improve accessibility, two of these pages will now be located immediately after the instruction page at the booklet's beginning, with the remaining two at the end.
