Correction Window Opens

The online application correction process has opened today. This process, launched on the NTA-NEET-UG website, will run from March 12th to 14th until 11:50 pm.

After this deadline, no corrections will be possible. Students can view their completed submitted application form by entering their registration number and password on the NTA-NEET-UG website.

They can make changes to all the details, including their registered email ID and mobile number, candidate’s name, candidate’s photo, candidate’s fingerprints, and their local and permanent address.

NTA has given students the option to add, delete, and modify details. Students can make changes to their personal details, educational qualifications, state eligibility, and category.

Career Counselling expert at ALLEN Career Institute stated that if a student wishes to change their category from a reserved category to an unreserved category, they must make the payment through a difference account, debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI application.

However, if a candidate changes from an unreserved category to a reserved category, they will not have to pay any fee. For example, if they change from an OBC or EWS category to an unreserved category, they will have to pay an additional fee of ₹100. Similarly, if they change from an ST/SC category to an unreserved category, they will have to pay an additional fee of ₹700.

These will be the Categories of Connection

Candidates will have to enter their father’s name and qualification/occupation, mother’s name and qualification/occupation, educational qualification details (Class 10 and Class 12), state and category of eligibility, category/disability, signature, number of attempts in NEET-UG, exam city selection, and medium of examination.

Mishra explained that corrections in these areas will only be applicable after payment of additional fees, if any. Candidates will be allowed to make corrections only once, meaning once the corrections are made and submitted, the forms will be frozen.

This correction is a one-time opportunity. Therefore, students should carefully review the entire form before submitting it. Once submitted, no changes can be made. After making corrections, keep the application form and the correction slip.
