NEET UG 2026: Registration Expected in February; Aspirants Urged to Update Aadhaar Details Immediately
By Education Desk | New Delhi
As the countdown begins for India's largest medical entrance exam, important updates have emerged regarding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) UG 2026. With the exam officially scheduled for May 3, 2026, the National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to commence the online registration process shortly.
However, before the application window opens, there is a critical "housekeeping" task that aspirants must prioritize.
Registration Timeline: Early February
According to the latest reports, the NTA is gearing up to release the official information bulletin and activate the application portal in early February 2026.
Where to Apply: Once active, the application forms will be available on the official NTA exams website.
Duration: The window typically remains open for one month, but candidates are advised not to wait for the deadline to avoid last-minute server congestion.
Urgent Advisory: Fix Your ID Proofs Now
In a proactive move to reduce application rejections and technical glitches, experts and officials are advising students to ensure their identity documents are up to date before the registration link goes live.
Why is this urgent? During the registration process, the NTA system validates candidate details against government databases. A mismatch in your Name, Date of Birth, or Mobile Number between your school records and your ID proof (specifically Aadhaar) can block your application.
Action Items for Aspirants:
Check your Aadhaar Card: Ensure your photo is recent and your details (spelling of name, DOB) match exactly with your Class 10 certificate.
Update if Needed: If there are discrepancies, visit a permanent enrollment center immediately. Updates can take 10-15 days, so starting now ensures you are ready when forms are released.
Link Mobile Number: Ensure your current mobile number is linked to your Aadhaar for seamless OTP verification.
