NEET UG 2026: NTA Extends Deadline for Fee Refund Submissions

Deadline Extension for NEET UG 2026 Fee Refunds



In a significant move for NEET UG 2026 candidates, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the deadline for submitting bank details for fee refunds to June 22, 2026. Students can easily update their banking information by accessing the NEET portal.


This extension brings relief to millions of NEET UG aspirants nationwide. The NTA has provided another chance for students to submit their bank account details for the refund of examination fees, which was initially due by May 27.


This decision is particularly beneficial for students who faced challenges in updating their bank information on time. The NTA has noted that many candidates have yet to complete the refund process, prompting the extension of the deadline.


Refund Process Initiated After NEET Exam

The NEET UG 2026 examination took place on May 3, 2026. Following the exam, the NTA introduced a fee refund facility due to various procedural issues. Students were asked to provide their bank account details to facilitate direct transfers of the refund amount. Notices regarding this process were issued on May 12 and May 22, 2026, with the portal open for submissions from May 22 to May 27.


1.3 Million Students Have Submitted Information


As per NTA reports, around 1.3 million candidates have successfully updated their bank account details. However, a considerable number of students have not yet completed this process. The agency acknowledged that some students received information late, while others encountered technical difficulties. To prevent any loss to students, the deadline has been extended by nearly a month.


Important Notice Regarding Submitted Information

The NTA has issued a crucial warning to candidates. Once bank account details are submitted, no modifications will be allowed. This means that if students enter incorrect account numbers, IFSC codes, or other banking information, they will not have the opportunity to correct these mistakes later. Therefore, it is essential for students to double-check all details before submission.



Portal Availability Until June 22

The NTA has confirmed that the portal for submitting bank account details will remain open until 11:50 PM on June 22, 2026. The agency strongly encourages all eligible students to complete this process promptly to ensure they receive their refunds without any issues.


Steps to Submit Bank Details

Candidates should visit the NEET UG 2026 registration portal and log in. After logging in, they need to click on the ‘Refund’ link and enter their bank account details. To ensure the accuracy of the provided information, students also have the option to upload a cancelled cheque.
