The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to release the NEET UG 2026 admit card on April 27 at 10 AM. Candidates who have registered for the exam will be able to download their hall tickets from the official website ahead of the examination scheduled for May 3, 2026.
The admit card is one of the most important documents for the NEET UG 2026, as entry to the examination hall will not be allowed without it. Candidates are advised to download it as soon as it becomes available to avoid last-minute issues.
Where and How to Download the Admit Card
Candidates can access their admit cards only through the official portal: neet.nta.nic.in. No admit cards will be sent by post or email.
To download the hall ticket, follow these steps:

It’s recommended to print multiple copies on A4-size paper. These may be required not just on exam day but also during the counselling and admission process.
Exam Centre Details and City Slip
Before the admit card release, NTA had already issued exam city intimation slips. These slips give candidates an idea of their allotted city, helping them plan travel in advance.
However, the exact exam centre address, reporting time, and other instructions are mentioned only on the admit card. Candidates must carefully read these details after downloading.
