Those appearing for the examination must carry their NEET Re-Exam 2026 admit card, a passport-size photograph and a valid photo identity proof. Candidates belonging to the PwD category should also keep the required certificates ready.

Candidates carrying restricted items may not be allowed to enter the examination hall.
Security Measures in Place for NEET Re-Exam 2026
Strict arrangements have been made to ensure a fair examination process. Biometric verification, Aadhaar authentication and CCTV surveillance are being used at centres.
