NEET UG 2024: NTA adds 14 foreign exam cities; centre change option during correction facility

NEW DELHI: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has added 14 exam cities for the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) UG 2024. The testing agency informed that students who have already filled the NEET UG application form 2024 will be able to change exam centres during the application correction facility.

Contrary to the initial decision of not holding NEET UG 2024 exam in cities outside India this year, NTA has now decided to conduct the exams in the following cities:

Informing about option to change centre, NTA said in an official notice, “Candidates who have already selected centres in India and paid the fee without the option for foreign centres will have the opportunity to correct their centre and country choice during the correction window. The window will open after the registration window closes.”

Candidates in foreign countries will also be able to change their centres to foreign cities during the NEET UG 2024 application correction process. However, such students will be required to pay the difference in amount upon choosing the centres, NTA added.
