The NEET UG 2026 re-examination is scheduled for June 21 after the initial test was cancelled due to reported irregularities. Key updates for students include a selection window for examination cities and the issuance of admit cards by June 14. The examination duration will be extended by 15 minutes, running from 2 pm to 5:15 pm.
