The National Testing Agency (NTA) has broadened its horizons by introducing new examination centres abroad for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2024. Commencing the registration process on February 9, the NTA invites applications from aspirants located outside India.
The newly incorporated cities as exam centres include Kuwait City, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Colombo, Doha, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos, Manama, Muscat, Riyadh, Sharjah, and Singapore, supplementing the list for NEET UG 2024.
In a recent announcement, NTA disclosed that candidates who had initially chosen centres within India and remitted the fee, excluding the option for foreign centres, now have the opportunity to rectify their selection during the NEET UG 2024 application correction phase.
Furthermore, candidates residing abroad who aspire to switch their examination centres to foreign locations can make the necessary amendments during the application correction period, albeit subject to payment of the differential fee, as stated by NTA.
For fresh applicants applying from foreign countries, selecting overseas examination centres can be directly done from the drop-down menu during the application process.
Prospective candidates can access the NEET UG application form, information bulletin, syllabus, and exam pattern at neet.ntaonline.in.
Several modifications have been implemented for NEET UG 2024. Notably, the application form, previously hosted on neet.nta.nic.in, is now relocated to a new domain – neet.ntaonline.in. Additionally, the application fee has been revised for all candidate categories. The NEET UG 2024 examination will encompass questions from four subjects: physics, chemistry, botany, and zoology. The National Medical Commission (NMC) had earlier revised the NEET syllabus for the 2024 exams, aligning it with changes in the NCERT syllabus post-COVID.
