Chandigarh: Ahead of the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET-UG) 2026, Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav elaborated on the arrangements made by the administration to ensure smooth and transparent conduct of the examination.
Examination Schedule and Registration
NEET-UG 2026, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), is scheduled to be held on June 21. In Chandigarh, around 3,800 candidates have registered for the prestigious national entrance examination, which paves the way for undergraduate medical and dental courses. A total of seven examination centres have been designated in schools across Chandigarh for NEET-UG 2026.
Security of Confidential Material
The transportation of secret and confidential examination material from designated banks to all examination centres will be carried out under strict security escort of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) along with the respective centre superintendent. This measure ensures complete integrity and safety of the question papers at every stage.
Anti-Cheating and Surveillance Measures
Electronic jammers have been installed at all examination centres to prevent the use of any electronic or mobile devices or unfair means during the examination. Double-layer frisking of all candidates will be conducted at the entry point to prevent the use of any prohibited items. The checking process has multiple layers: in the first layer, checking will be done by the local police; in the second level, a professional agency specifically hired by the NTA will conduct the checks.
Amenities for Candidates
All basic amenities, including drinking water, seating arrangements, adequate lighting, ventilation, and sanitation facilities, are being made available at all examination centres for the convenience and comfort of candidates. Duty magistrates have been appointed at each examination centre to monitor the examination process, ensure maintenance of order, and address any exigency that may arise during the examination.
Important Instructions for Candidates
All candidates are advised to carry their admit card and a valid government-issued photo ID on the day of the examination. Candidates are requested to report at their respective centres at least one hour before the commencement of the examination.
