The National Testing Agency (NTA) will be conducting the re-examination for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2026 on June
21, 2026 (Sunday). But less than 48 hours before the exam, the testing agency has changed the examination centre for students of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh (UP). As per the information shared by NTA, students who were scheduled to appear for the exam at Harivansh Rai Bachchan Cultural Centre will now be given a new centre. Old Centre Harivansh Rai Bachchan Cultural Centre, University of Allahabad, Prayagraj Near Indian Press Chauraha, Opposite Chandrashekhar Azad Park Gate No. 3 Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh – 211002 New Centre Department of Medieval and Modern History, Senate House Campus, University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh – 211002 While the admit cards were issued on June 14 for all candidates, the students who were supposed to appear at this particular centre have now been given fresh admit cards. "Fresh Admit Cards have been issued to all such candidates and can be downloaded from the NTA official website only at https://neet.nta.nic.in using their login credentials. Candidates with Admit Cards for the old centre will also be allowed to appear at the new centre, subject to due verification," NTA stated in an official notice.

The examination centre has been changed as the District Administration informed NTA that the centre will not be able to conduct the exam "due to administrative reasons such as ongoing construction work and non-availability of electricity". The examination will now be conducted in the adjoining building of the University of Allahabad. EET UG 2026 was originally conducted on May 3, but was cancelled on May 12 following reports of paper leak. The Union Education Minister then announced that a re-examination will be conducted on May 21. This time, over 22 lakh students will be appearing for the largest medical entrance exam of the country. NEET UG is a national-level medical entrance examination in India. The exam is held annually, and usually on the first Sunday of May. It is the mandatory qualification required for students seeking admission to undergraduate medical, dental, and AYUSH courses in government and private institutions.
