NEET UG 2026 Fee Refund: Portal Opens, Clock Ticking Till May 27

What Has Been Announced

Exam authorities have activated a dedicated refund window on the official NEET UG website for candidates who are eligible for fee return under the latest notification. Candidates must log in using their application number and password, verify their basic details, and then enter accurate bank account information to avoid transaction failures or delays.

How To Submit Bank Details

Candidates are typically required to provide the account holder name, bank name, account number, and IFSC code, ensuring the account is active and in their or their parent’s name as specified in the guidelines. Once submitted, details should be carefully reviewed before final confirmation, as edits may not be allowed after final submission. Refunds are expected to be processed directly to the bank accounts after the portal closes on May 27, following verification.

Why This Refund Window Matters

For thousands of candidates, the refund offers financial relief at a time when many are also incurring additional costs on rescheduled exams, travel, and coaching. The move is also seen as an effort to address grievances and restore confidence in the NEET UG 2026 process by ensuring that candidates are not out of pocket for charges covered under the revised policy.
