NTA NEET 2026 Exam to be held tomorrow under AI Surveillance
NTA will conduct NEET 2026 exam tomorrow with enhanced security measures, including AI-based surveillance at exam centres. Candidates must follow all guidelines.
NEET 2026: National Testing Agency will conduct NEET examination tomorrow across thousands of centres in India. This year, NTA has strengthened security measures by introducing advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) based surveillance to ensure a fair and transparent examination.
According to officials, AI-powered systems will be used to monitor activities inside exam centres in real time. These tools are designed to detect suspicious behaviour, prevent impersonation and identify use of unfair means. The move is aimed at reducing malpractice and ensuring that exam is conducted without any irregularities.
Strict Security Measures for NTA NEET 2026 Exam
Apart from AI surveillance, candidates will undergo multiple layers of security checks, including frisking and biometric verification at centres. Entry will be allowed only after proper verification of NEET admit cards and valid ID proofs. NTA has also deployed additional invigilators and observers to maintain strict vigilance throughout the examination.
NEET 2026 Exam Day Guidelines for Candidates
Commonly asked questions
In case candidates are not allotted any seat in the second round of the NEET UG counselling, the earlier allotted seat in Round 1 will be retained. However, on up-gradation of a seat in the second round, the earlier allotted seat in Round 1 will automatically be cancelled and allotted to another candidate. Therefore, candidates are advised to fill in only higher choices or any other choice which they prefer over the earlier allotted seat, for second round.
Although earlier NTA was mulling the idea of conducting NEET twice a year, now it has been confirmed that the exam will be held only once a year in a paper-pencil based mode. NTA communicated this information through an RTI response where it was stated that NEET will be conducted once a year. This has quashed the possibility of conducting NEET twice a year. However, the NTA expert committee headed by ISRO Chief K. Radhakrishnan has recommended conducting NEET twice a year, but there has not been any official confirmation on it yet.
Candidates are advised to reach their allotted exam centres well before reporting time. They must carry their admit card, a valid photo ID and follow dress code. Electronic gadgets, study material and other prohibited items will not be allowed inside exam hall. NEET 2026 exam will be conducted in pen-and-paper mode, and once exam concludes, detailed analysis, student reactions and expected cut-off trends will be released.
NTA Urges Candidates to Reach Early Amid Rain Forecast
NTA alerted candidates about possible rain and thunderstorms in several parts of country and advised them to plan their travel accordingly. With lakhs of candidates expected to appear for NEET 2026, NTA has stressed on importance of reaching exam centres on time.
