The NEET UG 2026 fee refund portal is now live at neet.nta.nic.in. Here is a step-by-step guide to submit your bank account details and claim your exam fee refund online today.
New Delhi, May 23: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has activated the online fee refund module on its official portal - neet.nta.nic.in - for NEET UG 2026 candidates. Students can now log in and submit their bank account details to claim a reimbursement of the examination fee paid earlier. The link, which was originally expected on May 21, is now live as of May 23.
Why Is NTA Offering a Fee Refund?
The refund follows the cancellation of the NEET UG 2026 examination held on May 3, amid allegations of a paper leak and other irregularities. Over 22 lakh registered candidates will now appear for a re-examination on June 21, 2026, from 2 pm to 5:15 pm in pen-and-paper mode. NTA has confirmed that no additional fee will be charged for the re-test - and the original fee paid stands to be refunded in full.
