About NEET 2026
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is one of the most competitive entrance examinations in India, conducted to assess the readiness of aspiring medical students for undergraduate admission. Candidates who clear NEET with strong scores gain admission to some of the most prestigious medical, dental, and AYUSH colleges in the country. NEET is conducted in pen-and-paper (OMR-based) mode.
This year, following a re-examination, NTA conducted the Re-NEET UG 2026 exam on 21 June 2026, and declared the result on 16 July 2026 — well within the revised timeline.
