NEET UG 2026 Fee Refund Portal Now Open: Submit Your Bank Details by May 27!
The NTA has activated the NEET-UG 2026 fee refund portal. Candidates have until May 27 to submit their bank details for a refund following the exam cancellation. Don't miss the deadline!
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially opened the portal for NEET-UG 2026 candidates to claim their examination fee refunds. Following the cancellation of the medical entrance exam earlier this month due to concerns over irregularities, the agency activated a dedicated facility on May 22 to ensure students get their money back smoothly.
If you are one of the thousands of candidates affected, you need to act fast. The NTA has given a relatively short window for this process, with the portal remaining live only until 11:50 PM on May 27, 2026. To get started, you will need to log into the official NEET-UG registration portal using your existing credentials. Once logged in, look for the refund link where you can submit your preferred bank account details for processing.
The information required for the refund includes the account holder’s name, the bank account number, the bank’s name, and the IFSC code. While it is not mandatory, the NTA suggests uploading a scanned copy of a cancelled cheque to ensure the details are accurate and to avoid any payment failures. It is extremely important to double-check everything before hitting submit, as the agency has clarified that the details provided will be treated as final, and no further changes will be allowed later.
This refund initiative comes as the government prepares for a fresh start. While the original test held on May 3 was scrapped, a re-examination has been scheduled for June 21. The good news for candidates is that they will not be charged any additional fee for this upcoming test, as the previous fees are being settled through this refund and re-registration process.
In a separate but helpful move for students in Bihar, the state government has announced free bus travel for those appearing for the NEET re-examination. While it hasn't been specified if this covers just the exam day or the period leading up to it, it serves as a significant relief for those traveling to various centers. Candidates are advised to complete their refund registration immediately and avoid any last-minute technical glitches on the portal.
