Re-NEET UG 2026: The National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct the NEET UG 2026 re-examination on June 21, from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM, in offline pen-and-paper mode.

The original NEET UG 2026 exam, conducted on May 3, was cancelled following the paper leak controversy that triggered nationwide outrage and a CBI investigation.

Students are now awaiting the release of the city intimation slip, one of the first documents which is released for the competitive exam. This document informs students of the city where they will take the examination, helping them plan travel in advance.

For the May 3 NEET UG exam, the city intimation slip was issued on April 20.

Re-NEET UG 2026: When will the city intimation slip be released?

The city intimation slip is expected to be released around June 7 or June 8.

As per past trends, NTA typically issues the exam city intimation slip 10 to 15 days before the examination date, allowing students time to manage travel logistics.

Re-NEET UG 2026: Is the city intimation slip the same as the admit card?

No, the city intimation slip and the Re-NEET UG 2026 admit card are two completely different documents.

The city intimation slip is an early preview and serves as a heads-up for students to plan their travel and accommodation. It contains only the city name, exam date, and exam timings, and is intended only for a student’s information.

The city intimation slip will not provide access to the examination hall. On the other hand, the admit card is a crucial document that students must carry to the exam centre. Without it, they will not be allowed to sit for the re-NEET.
