• Submitting documents with invalid specifications will lead to rejection of the application form.

Wrong choice of NEET exam centre 2026

• Candidates must select the preferred NEET exam centres choices as per their current address where they are residing.
• With the NEET 2026 exam city selection rules, the choice of NEET exam centres should be limited to permanent and present address only.

Live photo capture method

The confirmation page is a crucial document which contains important details such as application number and other essential information.
