Mark these dates in red on your calendar. Missing a deadline can cost you a year of hard work!

📝 Step-by-Step Registration Process

The entire application is online only at neet.nta.nic.in. Follow these three simple steps:

Step 1: Registration & Application Number

Sign up using your own (or your parents') email ID and mobile number. You will receive an OTP for verification. Create a strong password and security question. Once submitted, note down your System Generated Application Number—you'll need this for every future login.

Step 2: Fill the Application Form

This is where you enter your personal details, educational qualifications (Class 10 & 12), and your choice of exam cities.

• Pro Tip: Choose your Question Paper Medium carefully. If you choose English, you get an English booklet. If you choose Hindi or a Regional Language, you get a Bilingual (English + chosen language) booklet.

Step 3: Upload Documents & Pay Fee

You will need scanned copies of your:

• Latest Passport size photograph (80% face visible, white background).

• Postcard size photograph (4”X6”).

• Signature.

• Left and Right hand fingers and thumb impressions.

• Category/PwBD/Citizenship certificates (if applicable)

FeeRegistration Fees:

• General-EWS/OBC-NCL: ₹1600

• SC/ST/PwBD/Third Gender: ₹1000

🔍 Crucial Checklist Before You Hit 'Submit'

• Aadhaar is Best: While other IDs are allowed, using your Aadhaar Card streamlines identity verification and avoids extra documentation.

• Qualifying Codes: If you are appearing for Class 12 in 2026, use Code 01. If you have already passed, choose between Codes 02 to 07 based on your specific curriculum.

• Live Photo: NTA now requires a Live Photograph capture during the application. Ensure you are in a well-lit room with a light background.

• No Multiple Forms: Submitting more than one application will lead to your candidature being cancelled.

• Digital Locker: Use DigiLocker to store and access your OMR sheets and Scorecards safely after the exam.
