The online registration deadline for the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET UG 2024) has been extended. Eligible candidates can apply for the UG medical entrance examination up to March 16 on https://exams.nta.ac.in/NEET/.

The NEET UG 2024 registration window was originally scheduled to end on March 9 at 9 pm. However, in response to candidate representations, the National Testing Agency (NTA) extended the registration deadline. Application forms can be submitted up to 10.50 pm on March 16, and the exam fee can be paid up to 11.50 pm, the NTA notification reads.

The entrance test will take place on May 5, in a single shift from 2 pm to 5.20 pm. In addition to India, the NTA has identified 14 cities abroad in which the exam will be held.

NEET is a pen-and-paper test, which means it will be held offline, and candidates have to mark answers to the objective-type questions on OMR sheets. In the notification for the extension of the application deadline, the NTA mentioned that there will be no changes in the terms and conditions of the exam compared to last year, except for the syllabus which had been notified previously. The revised information bulletin of NEET UG has also been uploaded, it said.
