The agency further advised students that admit cards will be released separately closer to the examination date and will be required for entry into the examination centre.
Why Is NEET UG Being Re-Conducted?
The NEET UG 2026 re-examination follows the cancellation of the nationwide entrance examination conducted on May 3, 2026, after allegations of question paper leaks triggered widespread protests and demands for a fresh examination.
The controversy led authorities to order a re-examination to ensure fairness and maintain the integrity of the country’s largest medical entrance test.

Medical aspirants across India are now awaiting the release of admit cards while making travel and logistical arrangements based on the cities allotted through the intimation slips.
Importance of the City Intimation Slip
The city intimation slip serves as an advance information document that helps candidates plan their journey to the examination city.
By receiving the allotted city details in advance, students can arrange transportation, accommodation, and other logistics well before the examination date, reducing last-minute stress and ensuring better preparedness.
