NEW DELHI: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has added 14 exam centres in foreign cities for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) UG 2024.
The new foreign exam centres are Kuwait City, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Colombo, Doha, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos, Manama, Muscat, Riyadh, Sharjah and Singapore. The exam is slated for May 5, in 13 languages.
The NTA had earlier announced a total of 554 centres across India. No exam centres in foreign cities were allocated at that time. Last year, it was held in 499 cities.
The Agency also informed that candidates who have already selected the exam centre in India and paid the fee will now have the opportunity to correct the centre and choose a foreign city, during the correction window period.
The correction window opens only after the closure of the registration window.
However, a differential amount needs to be paid to change centres to foreign cities, the public notice said.
The NEET application form was released on February 9. The last date of application is March 9.
Candidates who are registering afresh from foreign countries can select their preferred country and city directly from the drop-down menu during the application process.
They should pay the requisite fee and submit their application, the public notice said.
NEET UG 2024 examination consists of four subjects-physics, chemistry, botany, and zoology. Some changes have been announced by NTA.
The NEET UG application form was earlier hosted on the neet.nta.nic.in. But is now available at a new website – neet.ntaonline.in.
Application fees have also been increased in all categories.
This time minor changes have been introduced in the NEET syllabus for the 2024 exams. The change in the NEET UG syllabus has been made to accommodate the changes in the NCERT syllabus post-Covid.
