All India JEE NEET Students Association (AIJNSA) submitted a letter to National Human Rights Commission India (NHRC) highlighting the growing concerns about the mental stress faced by NEET-UG aspirants in India. AIJNSA requested NHRC to take immediate action to address the mental stress faced by the NEET aspirants.

NTA is likely to release the NEET 2023 admit card soon. With just four days to go for the exam, there is a high chance that the admit card will be out today.

The NTA believes in the sanctity and fairness of conducting the examination, however, it also believes in the sensitivity involved in frisking (girl) candidates and will issue comprehensive instructions accordingly to the staff and other officials at the Examination Centres. The frisking of the female candidates will be done inside a closed enclosure by female staff only.

The Scribe will help the Candidate in reading the questions and/or keying in the answers as per the directions of the Candidate. A Scribe will NEITHER explain the questions NOR suggest any solutions. NTA states, "If it is found at any stage that a candidate has availed the services of a Scribe and/or availed the compensatory time, but does not possess the extent of disability that warrants the use of a Scribe and/or grant of compensatory time, the candidate will be excluded from the process of evaluation, ranking, counselling, and admission. In case such a candidate has already been admitted to any Institution, the admission of the candidate will be cancelled."

NEET is the largest medical entrance test in India. Every year there is a significant rise in the number of NEET applicants. The data for the past four years has been depicted in the table given below. 

The NEET 2023 password can be easily retrieved. Even if someone forgets the password, they can revive it, or change it by following a few simple steps. The first option is to select the login option through the date of birth. Here, candidates will have to enter the username and the date of birth in the DD/MM/YY format.

As per the instructions given by NTA regarding the NEET 2023 admit card, candidates will have to sign on the admit card in the space provided in the presence of the invigilator.

Experts suggest students urging for the postponement of the NEET 2023 exam to focus on their preparation rather than deviating their mind something which might not bear any fruit.

With just four days left for the NEET 2023 exam and the admit card expected anytime soon, it is very much unlikely that NEET 2023 exam will be postponed at this stage. Postponing or delaying the NEET 2023 exam at this stage will incur huge loss for the exam conducting body and would lead to massive logistical replanning, which is not recommended for the interest of the exam authorities and for other candidates. 

Students from the Maharashtra region has filed a fresh plea at the Bombay High Court to postpone NEET 2023.  “We understand that govt is trying to bring back the pre-pandemic academic schedule but postponing NEET to just 15 days will not do any harm in our opinion,” reads the text of the petition.

No, NEET 2023 admit card has not been released yet. Although some media houses had reported that the hall ticket will be out by 7 PM today, it is not out yet. It can be estimated that the NEET admit card 2023 will be released either tonight or tomorrow. 

A seat with a roll number will be allotted to each candidate. Candidates must find out and occupy their allotted seats. If a candidate is found appearing in the Examination from a seat or room other than the allotted one, the candidature shall be cancelled.

If a candidate indulges in any unwanted activities, he/she shall be debarred from taking this examination as per rules and shall also be liable for criminal action and/or any other action deemed fit by the NTA. 

The NEET 2023 exam city allotment slip was released on April 30. It carried candidates' personal information, photograph, signature, exam city and state. Take a look at the snapshot of the NEET 2023 city allotment slip.

If candidates are wearing a customary dress, they need to report at the allotted Examination centre latest by 12:30 pm on the day of the examination. 

Candidates will have to report to the NEET 2023 centre by 1 PM. The entry gates will open at 12.30 PM. No candidates will be allowed entry after 1.30 PM.

According to NTA, NEET 2023 exam centres will not have any additional space to store candidates' personal belongings. Hence, they are advised not to carry nonpermissible personal belongings at the centre. They should either not get the barred items to the centre, or to hand over those to their parents/friends accompanying them to the centre. 

There is a possibility that NEET 2023 admit card may be out tonight, at or after 7 PM. Hence, candidates are advised to keep checking the official websites for NEET 2023 and this page regularly. 

NTA has issued the following advisory, or guidelines regarding the NEET 2023 admit card.

a. Candidate may note that Admit Card will not be sent by post.
b. In no case, the duplicate Admit Card for NEET (UG)-2023 would be issued at the Examination Centres.
c. The candidate must not mutilate the Admit Card or change any entry made therein.
d. Candidates are advised to preserve their Admit Card in good condition for future reference.
e. No Admit Card shall be issued to the candidates whose Applications are found to be incomplete for any reasons (including indistinct/ doubtful photographs/unsigned Applications) or who do not fulfil the eligibility criteria for the examination.
f. Issue of Admit Card, however, shall not necessarily mean acceptance of eligibility which shall be further scrutinized at subsequent stages of the admission process.

According to NTA, in case there is a discrepancy or wrong information printed on the NEET 2023 admit card, candidates will have to approach the Helpline to get the details rectified. However, in case NTA does not issue the correct admit card before the exam, they are advised to take the issued NEET admit card 2023 to the allotted exam centre. The details will be updated by NTA later on. NTA states, "In case of any discrepancy in the particulars of the candidate or his/her photograph and signatures shown in the Admit Card and Confirmation Page, the candidate may immediately approach the Help Line between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm. In such cases, candidates would appear in the Examination with the already downloaded Admit Card. However, NTA will take necessary action to make corrections in the record later."

If a candidate is unable to download the NEET 2023 admit card even after the release, candidates will have to contact the NTA Helpline Number between 10:00 am to 05.00 pm or write an email to NTA at
neet@nta.ac.in. 

Candidates opting for English/Hindi/Regional Languages would be provided the NEET 2023 question paper or Test Booklet in English Hindi selected Regional Language. For example: If a candidate opted for Tamil (out of 13 languages), the Test Booklet would be provided in English Hindi Tamil.

As per various media reports, NEET 2023 admit card is expected to be released today, on or after 7 PM. However, there is no official confirmation on the same at the NTA NEET 2023 websites.

According to NTA, the entire exam of NEET UG 2023 will be video recorded. The candidates are required to keep their heads in upright position and face the camera during the videography so that their identities can be clearly established. The candidates should agree to the videography during the examination. Candidates will be put under surveillance in order to avoid them from following any unfair means. Moreover, jammers will also be installed in and around the exam centres. 

Yes, it is possible that NTA would change the NEET 2023 city allotment based on the number of applications received for that city. In case, the number of candidates opting for a city is less than a certain minimum, the NTA reserves the right to merge one, two, or more cities. In case, the number of candidates opting for a city as a centre with a regional language is less than a certain minimum, candidates may be allotted a NEET 2023 Centre in another city irrespective of the city opted by the candidates for appearing in the examination. NTA states, "Though every effort will be made to allot a Centre in one of the cities selected by the candidate, the NTA reserves the right to allot a centre in a city other than the candidate’s choice. Allotment of Centres will be done mostly in one of the preferred cities of the candidates and there will be no human intervention. All efforts will be made by NTA to consider the comfort and convenience of candidates, including PwBD Candidates while allotting Centres."

First of all, candidates are not allowed to choose NEET centres. They can only choose the city. This year, applicants were allowed to select only two cities as per their preference so that NTA ensures that the centre is allotted at the city of their first preference. In case candidates' NEET city allotment 2023 is as per their choice, but the centre is not as per their convenience, then nothing can be done at this stage. Test-takers are advised to make the exam day commute plan accordingly, so that they reach the NEET 2023 exam centre on time. 

 NTA has not yet announced the exact number of NEET 2023 exam centres. The total number of cities where the centres will be located is 499. Last year, the total number of NEET exam centres was 3570. The number of exam cities was 497 including 14 international cities. The NEET 2023 exam centre number is expected to be higher than that of last year as the total number of exam cities is 499.

Candidates need to follow the instructions given below at the NEET 2023 exam centre:

• Candidates have to report to the NEET exam centre at the 'reporting time' mentioned on the admit card.

The regional language option will be available at selected exam centres for NEET 2023. The following table brings the list of NEET 2023 exam centres as per the language of question papers.

In case a question is wrong in the NEET 2023 question paper, then NTA will award four marks. NTA has clarified by saying, "If a question is found to be incorrect or the Question is dropped then Four marks ( 4) will be awarded to all those who have attempted the question.

NTA has laid down a detailed marking scheme for the NEET 2023 exam, which is given below:

(i) Correct answer or the most appropriate answer: Four marks ( 4)
(ii) Any incorrect option marked will be given minus one mark (-1).

According to the National Medical Commission of India, there are as many as 623 medical colleges in India offering a total of 1,02,758 MBBS seats.

Even though there is less than a week to the NEET 2023 exam, students are urging NTA to postpone the exam citing a lack of time to prepare for the exam. 

Students have been urging NTA to conduct NEET twice a year. However, NTA has already confirmed through RTI response that NEET will be conducted only once a year and the validity of the questions will be one year.
