The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a re-examination for NEET UG 2026 on June 21, prompting the city's government model schools and coaching centres to revamp their schedules with crash courses.
Government Schools Launch Crash Courses
The school education department will start its crash course from Monday in all model schools and 'Vetri Palligal' (high-performing government higher secondary schools per block). School education secretary B Chandramohan stated, 'We have a special month-long camp for coaching. There will be day-long lessons and trainers have been notified. In some schools, the training will begin on Tuesday.' This is in addition to ongoing coaching at these schools.
Private Coaching Centres Seize Opportunity
Private coaching centres, which usually begin admissions for year-long courses for students postponing college admissions, have also grabbed this opportunity. Prominent centres have deployed tele-callers and ordered employees to make calls, set daily targets, and increase enrolments starting May 19. K Manikandan, canvassing for Unacademy, said, 'Numbers have been provided to us through agencies, and I have to make around 100 calls a day to see if any aspirant wants to enrol. We also have to pitch our package — repeater courses and test sessions.'
K Gowtham from Shankar Medico Academy mentioned that courses will be held offline from 9 am to 4 pm. 'Students will be charged 10,000 for the entire course, which includes weekly assessments on Mondays and daily practice sessions besides revisions,' he added.
Crash Courses in Other Districts
Crash courses have also opened in other districts. In Namakkal, a hub for NEET coaching in the state, centres are inviting students. Satheish, founder of Feathers' Academy, said, 'We have opened up slots to admit students for the next 30 months. Their accommodation and food will be taken care of. The course will only involve assessments, revisions, clearing of doubts and error analysis sessions to brush up topics in the next one month.'
