Candidates who have not yet completed the process can now update their bank details through the official portal until 11:50 PM on July 14, 2026.The re-examination was held on June 21 after the May 3 NEET UG exam was cancelled over alleged paper leak concerns that affected more than 20 lakh candidates.

The NTA published the provisional answer key on June 25 and invited objections until June 28. Candidates were required to pay a refundable fee of Rs 200 per question for each challenge, with the amount refunded if the objection was found to be valid.

Why NTA Has Extended the Refund Portal

The refund window has been extended to ensure that no eligible candidate misses out on receiving the examination fee refund. Since many students have not yet verified or updated their banking information, NTA has decided to reopen the facility one final time. Candidates are advised to complete the process well before the deadline to avoid any delay in receiving their refund.

Last Date to Confirm Bank Account Details

Candidates who have not yet updated or confirmed their bank account information must complete the process by July 14, 2026, up to 11:50 PM. Once the deadline expires, NTA is expected to complete the refund process based on the bank details submitted through the portal. Students are therefore encouraged not to wait until the final hours to avoid technical issues or last-minute errors.

Cancelled Cheque Upload is Optional but Recommended
