The deadline extension is applicable for admissions to medical, dental, and Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy (AYUSH) courses.
According to the official notice, the extension has been granted due to technical issues affecting the server, which is currently undergoing maintenance. Due to the disruption, candidates have been given extra time to complete the pending UGNEET 2026 admission activities.
