The National Testing Agency (NTA) has begun the process of refunding NEET UG 2026 exam fees due to the cancellation of the medical entrance exam following the paper leak controversy.

Students who have already paid NEET UG 2026 exam fee will not be required to pay again for the re-exam on June 21. The refund will be done via a dedicated online portal where the candidates will have to provide their bank account information. To ensure that there are no delays in receiving the refund, NTA has requested students to fill in the details after the portal opens on May 21.

Following allegations of a paper leak, protests, investigations, and widespread concerns about the fairness of the examination process led to the cancellation of the NEET UG 2026 exam.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan admitted that there was a fault in the examination system and that the government was taking responsibility to rectify the fault. The minister, in his address to the controversy, said that the education mafia and fraudulent candidates should not let any deserving student suffer.

He also added that the recommendations of the Radhakrishnan Committee, which were made following the irregularities in the previous exams, have been put into practice for NEET 2025 and 2026. Despite those measures, the latest controversy still took place, leading to the cancellation of the examination.

The NEET UG 21 re-exam will be held on June 21 from 2 PM to 5:15 PM in pen and paper mode at exam centres in India and abroad. The examination will be conducted in 13 languages, English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Malayalam, Gujarati, Kannada, Punjabi, Assamese, Urdu and Oriya.

NTA has also announced that there will be an extra 15 minutes for candidates in the re-exam. The additional time will be allocated for attendance, document verification and other pre-exam formalities.

The recent changes have brought the NTA once again under the spotlight, as students and parents are calling for improved security measures and transparency in the country's largest medical entrance test.
