The clock is ticking for thousands of differently-abled NEET aspirants across India. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has opened the scribe registration window for PwBD candidates from June 9 to June 12, 2026 (11:50 PM) — and today is the final day to act.
PwD and PwBD aspirants who require a scribe during the Re-NEET UG 2026 examination must submit their details by June 12, 2026, at 11:50 PM. This is a non-negotiable, one-time window — missing it could mean appearing for one of India's toughest entrance exams without critical support.
The National Testing Agency (NTA), in coordination with the Central Government, cancelled the NEET UG 2026 examination conducted on May 3, 2026, following serious allegations of a question paper leak. NTA has now officially confirmed June 21, 2026 (Sunday) as the Re-NEET 2026 exam date. Eligible PwD/PwBD candidates must complete scribe registration today — no extension has been announced.
The National Testing Agency officially opened a dedicated portal for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) and Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) on June 9, 2026, to submit scribe details ahead of the Re-NEET 2026 exam.
This is a very short registration window — candidates should complete the submission before the deadline, as waiting until the last few hours is risky due to possible login issues, server delays, or internet problems
Key facts at a glance:
Urgent: NTA has not announced any extension to this deadline. Candidates should not wait.

Eligible candidates must log in to the official website and submit their scribe's information before the portal closes.
The "Register Scribe Details" button will appear only on the dashboard of eligible PwD/PwBD candidates. If you do not see this button, you either did not opt for the scribe facility during the original application or do not fall under the eligible category.
The National Testing Agency has made the online process straightforward. Follow these steps to complete scribe registration:
The PwBD scribe registration facility is available for candidates who meet the eligibility criteria defined by NTA. Broadly, this includes:
The candidate must have already opted for the scribe facility during the original NEET UG 2026 application form submission. If this was not opted for at the time of original registration, the scribe registration button will not be visible.
The National Testing Agency, in coordination with the Central Government, cancelled the NEET UG 2026 examination conducted on May 3, 2026, following serious allegations of a coordinated question paper leak. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered an FIR under provisions related to criminal conspiracy, cheating, criminal breach of trust, and destruction of evidence.
Millions of medical aspirants across India were impacted by the cancellation, with over 22.79 lakh registered students affected.
No fresh registration is required for the re-exam; fees will be fully refunded, and fresh admit cards will be released by June 14, 2026. All candidates from the original May 3 exam will automatically appear for Re-NEET on June 21.
In 2024, NEET UG faced a similar controversy. NTA reconducted NEET 2024 on June 23, 2024, for affected candidates — the re-exam was held roughly six weeks after the original exam date. The 2026 timeline mirrors this precedent closely, with Re-NEET 2026 scheduled approximately seven weeks after the cancelled May 3 exam.
The scribe portal mechanism — opening 3–5 days before the exam-related deadline — is consistent with NTA's standard process for PwD accommodations across its major examinations.
