Hello Komal,
Since the NEET correction window does not allow changes to the twin information, you can address it as follows:
-
Contact NTA Again: Try calling NTA helpline again or email them explaining that it was a mistake and you don’t have a twin. Request them to guide you on how to proceed.
-
Justification at Exam Centre: On the exam day, if the invigilator questions this, you can clarify that it was a genuine mistake while filling out the form. Carry a valid ID (like Aadhaar card) to verify your identity and confirm that you don’t have a twin.
-
Declaration During Counselling: If the issue persists during counselling, you can submit an affidavit or written statement confirming that it was a form-filling error and that you don’t have a twin.
Since this detail doesn’t affect your eligibility or exam score, it should not create a major issue if you clarify it properly.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
