The NEET UG 2026 Admit Card is one of the most awaited documents for medical aspirants across India. With the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG 2026) scheduled for May 3, 2026, the National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the admit card in the last week of April 2026, tentatively around April 29, 2026. Candidates can download it from the official website: neet.nta.nic.in.
Before the admit card, NTA has already released the NEET UG 2026 City Intimation Slip on April 12, 2026. This document informs registered candidates about the city allotted for their examination centre. It is important to note that the city slip is NOT the admit card and cannot be used for entry to the examination hall.
This year, the exam will be held across 552 cities in India and 14 cities abroad, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM in pen-and-paper (offline) mode. A record ~26 lakh candidates have registered for NEET UG 2026 — the highest ever.
