## Why Is Re-NEET UG 2026 Being Conducted?

Following investigations and government approval, NTA decided to conduct a fresh examination to ensure fairness for all students. The re-exam has now been fixed for **June 21, 2026**, and no fresh registration is required for previously registered candidates.
For many aspirants, this second chance is an opportunity to improve performance, while for others, it means dealing with exam stress all over again.
