Thousands of NEET UG 2026 aspirants are returning to Kota after the cancellation of the exam over alleged paper leak concerns. Coaching institutes have started special crash courses, free test series and revision sessions ahead of the re-exam on June 21, 2026. Students are also facing rising accommodation costs and emotional stress during the preparation phase.
NEET Re-Exam 2026 Triggers Return of Aspirants to Kota as thousands of medical aspirants travel back to the coaching hub following the cancellation of NEET UG 2026. The National Testing Agency cancelled the exam after allegations of a multi-state paper leak, with the re-examination now scheduled for June 21, 2026.
Students who had returned home after the May 03, 2026 exam are once again shifting to hostels and coaching institutes to restart preparation within a limited time.
NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam Pushes Students Back to Coaching Centres
Students from several states have started returning to Kota to resume full-time preparation. Many aspirants said they could not continue effective preparation from their hometowns due to a lack of internet access, test series and study environment.
Several students travelling back to Kota reported overcrowded trains and increased accommodation costs. According to aspirants, hostel room rents that were earlier around INR 10,000 are now rising to nearly INR 15,000 in some areas.
Many students also said they had mentally stopped studying after appearing for the original exam and are now trying to rebuild their preparation routine within one month.
Kota Coaching Institutes Launch Re-NEET 2026 Crash Courses
Coaching institutes in Kota and across India have started special programmes for NEET UG 2026 re-exam candidates. These programmes include revision lectures, chapter-wise practice, mock tests and personalised study plans.
Motion Education announced daily live revision lectures, free practice papers and customised preparation support for students returning to physical classrooms. The institute expects nearly half of its enrolled NEET students to return to Kota before the re-exam.
Aakash Educational Services Limited launched a “Victory Batch” for Re-NEET aspirants at a nominal fee of INR 99. Existing students can access the programme free of cost. The batch includes chapter-wise tests, revision classes and NEET-pattern practice papers.
NEET UG 2026 Aspirants Focus on Full-Length Mock Tests
Many aspirants said they are now focusing mainly on full-syllabus mock tests instead of chapter-wise preparation. Students believe continuous practice papers are necessary to maintain exam rhythm before the re-test.
The NEET UG 2026 re-exam is scheduled to take place on June 21, 2026, and coaching institutes are expected to continue intensive revision support until the examination date.
