NEET Centres

Till last year, candidates were provided N95 masks at the NEET exam centre which was mandatory to be used by candidates. They had to dispose of their own masks before entering the exam centre at the designated bin. However, since the intensity of Covid has reduced as compared to the last two years, this year candidates may not be provided masks at the centre. The information will be confirmed after the release of the NEET admit card. However, it is recommended that they wear face masks for the entire duration. This should be done to ensure their and other test-takers' safety.

Candidates must reach the NEET exam centre before the time to avoid any last minute delays. The reporting time is generally mentioned on the admit card. It is adviseable that candidates should reach the centre at least one hour before the exam to get entry on time.
