NEET UG Registration 2026

Check your age and Class 12 subjects first, before any NEET UG exam registration. NEET UG exam registration for 2027 has not opened as of 20 October 2026, and NTA has announced no date. In the 2026 cycle, a candidate had to be 17 years old on or before 31 December 2026. The candidate also needed Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Biotechnology and English in Class 12.

This page uses the NEET UG 2026 Information Bulletin as the guide, because it is the latest official rulebook. Everything marked 2026 is a confirmed fact of that cycle. NTA may change any rule in the 2027 bulletin. The NEET UG exam registration date 2027 is the first date to track. For the cycle timeline, see the NEET UG 2027 dates page.

NEET UG exam registration is online only, and each candidate can fill one application. One NEET UG exam registration form covers MBBS, BDS, AYUSH and B.Sc Nursing. NEET UG is the single national entrance test for these courses. The table shows the 2026 facts from the NEET UG 2026 Information Bulletin, because NTA has published nothing for 2027.

The NEET UG 2027 registration date is not announced, and the NEET UG 2027 registration last date is also open.

NEET UG Registration Dates: Frequently Asked Questions

The NEET UG 2027 eligibility rules are not announced, and the NEET UG exam registration date 2027 is also open. The 2026 rules need a minimum age of 17 years and one application. They also need Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Biotechnology and English. NTA may change these in the 2027 bulletin. Every applicant for NEET UG exam registration must meet all of them.

What is the age limit for NEET UG 2027?

Is there an attempt limit in NEET UG?

The NEET UG 2026 bulletin sets no limit on attempts. This is the absence of a rule, not a statement that no limit will come. Some changes to age and attempt limits have been discussed, but none is a rule. NTA's 2026 form listed attempts as a field you could correct.

Which subjects do I need to register for NEET UG?

You need Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Biotechnology, and English. The 2026 form asked for a qualifying-examination code from 01 to 07. Pick the code that matches your qualifying examination, as per the Information Bulletin.

Qualifying percentile (2026)

The 2026 Information Bulletin set these qualifying percentiles.

The percentile only qualifies you for counselling. It does not give a seat, whatever your NEET UG exam registration category. The NEET UG cutoff page explains the difference between the qualifying cutoff and the closing rank.

NTA data for 2026 shows that NRI, OCI and foreign national candidates also registered. They numbered 1,066, 1,007 and 927. The centres outside India carried a higher fee of ₹9,500.

Reservation in the central quota (2026)

The 2026 Information Bulletin lists these central quota reservations. State quotas follow state rules.

The all India quota is 15%. Choose your category with care at the NEET UG exam registration stage. You can change it only in the correction window.

NEET UG Registration Fee: Frequently Asked Questions

NEET UG exam registration needs your Class 12 details, parent contact details and category proof where it applies. It also needs three uploads. NEET 2027 registration will need the same set, as in 2026. The uploads are a live photograph, a signature and a thumb impression. The table lists the 2026 requirement. Scan or photograph each item before the NEET UG exam registration date 2027 is announced. Keep money ready for the NEET UG registration fees too.

The 2026 specification was a live photograph of 10 to 200 KB and a signature of 10 to 100 KB. NTA has not published the NEET UG 2027 specification. The table shows the 2026 rules. Match these sizes when you upload files for NEET UG exam registration.

What is the size limit for the thumb impression?

The 2026 bulletin states 10 to 200 KB for the thumb impression in one place. It states 50 to 300 KB in another. The two figures do not match. Keep the file between 50 and 200 KB, which satisfies both limits, and follow the 2027 bulletin when it comes.
