Previous Year Comparison: Why Admit Card Matters
Last year, over 22 lakh candidates appeared for NEET UG, and the admit card remained mandatory not only for exam day but also for counselling, seat allotment, and institute reporting.
NTA has also clarified that duplicate admit cards will not be issued, making it important for candidates to keep multiple print copies safely. This year too, candidates should preserve the hall ticket until the full admission process is completed.
