NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam City Slip Released; Here's How Candidates Can Download It

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the exam city intimation slip for the NEET UG 2026 re-examination scheduled to be held on June 21.

Candidates who will be appearing for the medical entrance examination can now check the city allotted to them by visiting the official NTA website. The exam city slip helps students know where their examination centre will be located before the admit cards are issued.

The NEET UG re-examination was announced after the original exam was cancelled due to a paper leak controversy that sparked nationwide outrage.

Why Is NEET UG Being Conducted Again?

More than 22 lakh students appeared for the NEET UG 2026 examination on May 3.
However, the examination was later cancelled following allegations of a question paper leak. The incident triggered protests from students, parents, opposition parties and various organisations across the country.

Following the controversy, the government announced a re-examination to ensure fairness and maintain the credibility of the country's largest medical entrance test.

The case is currently under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Re-Exam Scheduled For June 21

The NEET UG 2026 re-examination will be conducted on June 21.

The test will be held in pen-and-paper mode and will take place from 2:00 pm to 5:15 pm.
According to NTA, the examination will be conducted across 551 cities in India and 14 cities abroad, allowing candidates from different regions to appear for the test.

What Is The Exam City Slip?

The exam city intimation slip is not the admit card.

It only informs candidates about the city where their examination centre is located.
The admit card, which contains detailed information such as the exact examination centre address, reporting time and exam-day instructions, will be released separately by NTA at a later date.

NTA Says Student Preferences Were Considered

In its public notice, NTA stated that efforts were made to allot examination cities according to candidates' preferences.

The agency said it tried to accommodate students in their preferred locations as far as possible while making arrangements for the large-scale examination.

Security Measures Strengthened After Paper Leak

Following the paper leak controversy, authorities have introduced several additional security measures for the re-examination.
For the first time, the Indian Air Force has been tasked with transporting NEET question papers to examination centres.

The decision was announced by NTA Director General Abhishek Singh during a virtual review meeting.

In another significant step, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) will reportedly monitor and supervise the security arrangements surrounding the examination.

Officials hope these measures will help restore confidence in the examination process and prevent any possibility of malpractice.

Focus Shifts To Exam Day

With the release of the exam city slip, preparations for the re-examination have entered the final stage.

Students can now check their allotted cities and begin making travel arrangements if necessary.

As the June 21 examination approaches, all eyes will be on the enhanced security arrangements and the successful conduct of one of India's most important entrance examinations.
