NEET-UG 2026: Leave Ban for Medical Students Ahead of Re-exam
19 Jun
Summary
- Medical colleges must deny leave to students on June 20-21.
- NMC aims to prevent misuse and ensure fair conduct of the re-examination.
- Similar instructions were issued for the original NEET-UG 2026 exam.
Ahead of the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination scheduled for June 21, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a directive for all medical colleges. Students will not be granted leave on June 20 and 21, except in exceptional circumstances. This measure is intended to prevent misuse and uphold the fair conduct of the examination.
The NMC's instruction follows a request from the Department of Higher Education. Medical colleges are directed to stay vigilant and sensitize students against any activities that could undermine the examination's integrity. Past incidents have involved students engaging in such compromising activities.
Similar directives were also enforced before the original NEET-UG 2026 examination. The re-examination on June 21 is being conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), with authorities emphasizing cooperation from all institutions to ensure a smooth and fair process.
