The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the NEET UG 2026 admit cards, with nearly 4 lakh candidates successfully downloading them ahead of the examination scheduled for June 21. However, a significant number of aspirants have reported persistent technical glitches while trying to access the official portal, leading to widespread frustration on social media platforms.
NTA Acknowledges Server Issues
In an official response, the NTA acknowledged the technical difficulties faced by candidates. The agency stated that its technical teams are actively working to resolve server-related disruptions. A statement from the NTA read: "We are aware that some of you are facing technical glitches or server issues in accessing your admit cards. Our teams have been working towards resolving all these issues. We are there for you and will ensure that very soon, all candidates get their admit cards. Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted."
Despite these assurances, many candidates continued to report access failures, login errors, and delayed page loading, raising concerns about the system's readiness ahead of the examination.
Login Errors and Refund Portal Confusion
Across social media, candidates expressed frustration over repeated failures in accessing the admit card portal. Several users reported that the website either failed to load or displayed error messages even after entering correct credentials. Some candidates also highlighted issues related to the fee refund and bank detail verification system. One user mentioned being confused after being prompted to verify bank details again, only to receive a message suggesting they had opted out of providing refund details. Others reported that the refund link itself remained non-functional despite multiple attempts.
Another candidate wrote that their account was temporarily blocked despite entering correct login details, questioning whether the issue was isolated or widespread. Many others echoed similar concerns, stating that they had been trying to access the portal for hours without success.
Centre Changes and Last-Minute Anxiety
In addition to technical issues, some candidates raised concerns about unexpected examination centre changes. At least one candidate reported that their allotted centre had been shifted to a location significantly farther from their residence, adding logistical stress to those already dealing with access issues.
Frustration intensified as several users tagged government authorities, urging immediate intervention and smoother coordination. Candidates emphasized that repeated portal failures and unclear refund or verification messages were affecting their preparation in the final days before the exam.
As the examination date approaches, candidates continue to demand a stable, fully functional system to ensure timely access to admit cards without further disruption. The situation has put additional pressure on the examination body to restore confidence and streamline digital services ahead of the national medical entrance test.
