The National Testing Agency (NTA) has introduced a series of student-friendly measures for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG) 2026 re-examination, scheduled for June 21.
The examination duration has been extended to 195 minutes from the usual 180 minutes, allowing candidates to utilize the full examination time without administrative processes cutting into it.
Candidates will now get 15 extra minutes to write their re-examination, and the space available for rough work in the question booklet has been increased to four pages from two.
The revised layout has been incorporated in both English and regional language versions of the question paper, with two rough-work pages shifted to the beginning of the booklet for better convenience.
The changes were introduced after receiving feedback from candidates over the years and are aimed at making the process more comfortable while maintaining fairness and security standards.
