Re-NEET 2026: Change in question paper booklet
According to the NTA notice, previously, students could do rough work only on the pages provided at the end of the question booklet. However, some students, particularly left-handed ones, found this inconvenient.
Therefore, two rough-work pages have been added just after the instruction page, and two pages will continue to be available at the end.
Furthermore, the revised layout of the question booklet has been incorporated in both English and regional language versions of the paper.
Under the new measures introduced, students will have four rough-work pages instead of two, giving them more space for calculations, diagrams, and other workings during examination.
NTA is yet to issue the NEET UG admit card 2026 on its official website. Students can download the NEET city slip 2026 available on neet.nta.nic.in, using their login credentials.
