The NEET UG 2026 re-examination was conducted on June 21 at examination centres across India and abroad. NTA has said it aims to release the final answer key and results at the earliest possible date.

A NEET UG 2026 aspirant from Nagpur was left shocked after his re-examination admit card reportedly allotted an examination centre in Abu Dhabi, around 2,500 kilometres away from his hometown, raising concerns over possible technical errors in the examination process.

The student, identified as Abdullah Mohammad Talib, is scheduled to appear for the NEET UG 2026 re-examination on June 21. However, when he downloaded his hall ticket, he found that his assigned test centre was located in Abu Dhabi, despite being based in Nagpur.

According to reports, the unexpected allotment has caused significant distress to the student and his family. They pointed out that the candidate does not possess a passport, making international travel impossible within such a short timeframe.

The incident comes amid reports of technical difficulties faced by some candidates while accessing NEET UG 2026 re-examination admit cards. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has previously acknowledged server-related and technical glitches affecting certain students and said its teams were working to resolve the issues.

The NEET UG 2026 re-examination is scheduled to be conducted on June 21, with the NTA having issued fresh admit cards and exam-related advisories for eligible candidates.

The student’s family is now seeking immediate intervention from the authorities to ensure that a suitable examination centre is allotted before the test date.
