Overview
- The National Testing Agency has fixed the NEET‑UG re‑exam for June 21, 2026, with the paper set for 2:00 pm to 5:15 pm and an extra 15 minutes allotted to candidates.
- The original NEET held on May 3 was cancelled in an official order on May 12 after allegations of a paper leak prompted the nationwide retest.
- Punjab, Haryana and Bihar have announced free state bus travel for Re‑NEET candidates on dates around June 21 so students can travel without paying fares on specified days.
- A video posted on X by Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday urged all chief ministers to offer free transport and other help, saying many families face duplicate travel costs because of the retest.
- Bihar has directed district administrations to provide drinking water, shaded waiting areas, extra buses and security at exam hubs, a model that will require major coordination between state transport, police and NTA at centres across India.
