Commonly asked questions
Q:   Can I change my NEET exam centre after the application process?
A: 

The NEET exam centre can only be changed during the application correction window. No changes can be made after the last date of submission of the NEET application form or after the conclusion of the application correction process. Once NTA releases the advance intimation to exam city slip, candidates will be appraised of their NEET exam city. The city will be one of the two entered by candidates during the application process.

Q:   Can I change the NEET exam centre after the release of admit card?
A: 

The NEET centre cannot be changed after the release of admit card. Moreover, since the admit card is released around a week prior to the exam date, there is less scope of getting the centre changed. In case of an emergency, candidates are advised to contact NTA to change the exam city or centre. Since NTA will allot the exam centre in either of the preferred cities, test-takers should not have any difficulty in getting the exam city or centre of their preference.

Commonly asked questions
Q:   I want to select English as the language of my NEET question paper. Which city should I choose?
A: 

You can choose any exam centre of NEET if you have opted for English medium question paper. English is available at all centres across the country. English is a universal language and the NEET question paper medium. The exam city selection option becomes limited once candidates choose a regional language, except Hindi. Apart from the medium of the question factor, the other factor that plays a role in the NEET exam centre city selection is the permanent and present address selected by candidates during the application process.

Q:   I want to choose Marathi as the medium for NEET Question Paper. Can I choose Delhi as my NEET exam centre?
A: 

No, NTA has notified language-wise exam city demarcation. Regional languages are restricted by geographical boundaries. Hence, if you want to choose Marathi as the medium of examination, you will have to choose a NEET test centre in Maharashtra or other Marathi speaking states such as Goa or Gujarat. Another situation where you can select the NEET exam city in Delhi while opting for NEET Marathi question paper is to give a Delhi address as your permanent or present address. Candidates choosing Delhi as a NEET exam centre can choose English Hindi Punjabi and Urdu question paper mediums.
