Candidates also receive the NEET application confirmation through email and SMS at their registered email address and mobile number. In case the amount is deducted and the application confirmation is not received, then candidates are advised to contact NTA and the payment aggregators at the Helpline Numbers given in the information bulletin within the stipulated timing. Otherwise, they have to log in and try to pay the fee once again after a while.

Several candidates face difficulty while filling the NEET application form, especially in the first few days owing to server errors or traffic surge in the website. Last year, since the NEET website address was changed, applicants found it difficult to login or were automatically logged out. On the other hand, some candidates faced trouble while paying the application fee. Even after the payment of the NEET 2024 application fee, they did not receive the application confirmation. NTA advises candidates to check their internet connection while filling up the application form, and in case of difficulty regarding fee payment, they are advised to connect with the payment aggregator through the Helpline Numbers and email ids provided in the NEET information bulletin. In case of duplicate payment, NTA will refund the additional amount.
