NCET 2026 will be conducted in computer-based test (CBT) mode for 640 marks. One mark will be deducted for each incorrect response.

The National Testing Agency has issued the advance exam city intimation slip for the NCET 2026. Registered candidates can now access and download the slip from the official website, exams.nta.ac.in.
The NCET 2026 exam is scheduled on April 17. It is held for admission to the four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) offered by specific central and state universities, including institutions such as IITs, NITs, RIEs, and other government colleges.
The city intimation slip informs candidates about the city of their allotted exam centre and confirms the exam date. However, it is important to note that this document is not the admit card. The admit card will be released separately by the NTA.
