NEET Fee Refund: NTA Extends Deadline for 13 Lakh Candidates
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the deadline for NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) candidates to update their bank details for fee refunds. The new deadline is June 22, giving over 13 lakh candidates additional time to ensure they receive their refunds. This move comes after numerous requests from candidates who faced difficulties in updating their information within the previous timeframe.
Why the Extension?
Many candidates reported issues with the online portal, including technical glitches and errors in bank account details. The NTA acknowledged these challenges and decided to extend the deadline to facilitate a smooth refund process. Candidates are advised to verify their details carefully to avoid delays.
How to Update Bank Details
Candidates can update their bank account information by logging into the official NTA NEET portal. They need to provide accurate account number, IFSC code, and other required details. The NTA has also set up a helpline to assist candidates facing issues.
Refund Amount and Eligibility
The refund applies to candidates who paid the application fee but later withdrew or were not eligible. The amount varies based on the category and fee paid. Candidates must ensure their bank details are correct to receive the refund directly into their accounts.
Important Dates
- Last date to update bank details: June 22, 2025
- Refund processing: Will begin after the deadline
Candidates are urged to act promptly to avoid missing the deadline. The NTA has warned that no further extensions will be granted.
