NTA said extensive arrangements had been put in place to ensure a “safe, secure and fair examination”.

With just three days left for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination, the National Testing Agency (NTA) on Thursday issued an advisory urging students to remain calm, ignore rumours about postponement of the examination and seek help if they are struggling with stress.

In a message addressed to candidates, the agency said the examination would be conducted as scheduled and advised students to rely only on official communication.

“The NEET UG 2026 examination is just three days away. To every candidate: you have worked hard, you have prepared, and now is the time to trust your effort. Stay calm, rest well, and focus on doing your best. That is all that is asked of you,” the NTA said.

“The examination will be conducted as scheduled. Please do not be swayed by rumours of postponement or by the noise on social media. Rely only on official communication from NTA,” it added.

The agency said extensive arrangements had been put in place to ensure a “safe, secure and fair examination” in coordination with ministries, state governments and security agencies.

“We want to reassure you that extensive arrangements are in place for a safe, secure and fair examination, in close coordination with relevant ministries, state governments and security agencies.

The integrity of this process is our highest priority, and robust, multi-layered safeguards have been put in place,” the advisory stated.

The NTA also warned that any attempt at malpractice would be dealt with firmly and reiterated that the decision to cancel the original May 3 examination was taken in the interest of students.
