Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan confirmed in a press conference that all candidates will receive their admit card by June 14. Candidates who registered for the original exam do not need to re-register. Here is everything you need to know — from login credentials to exam day rules
The original NEET UG 2026 held on May 3 was cancelled following confirmation of a paper leak. NTA has officially scheduled the Re-NEET 2026 for June 21, 2026 (Sunday), from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM. PW

Many students are confusing the two documents. Here is a clear breakdown:

| Shows exact exam centre address | No | Yes |

Even if you have already downloaded the city slip, you still need to download and print the admit card once NTA releases it.
Once the Re-NEET 2026 exam is conducted on June 21:
During the NEET UG 2024 re-exam, NTA issued the admit card on June 20, 2024, for 1,563 students, just 3 days before the re-examination scheduled on June 23, 2024. Based on this precedent, students should expect the 2026 re-exam admit card between June 14 and 18, 2026, with the Education Minister's June 14 commitment serving as the official deadline.
