On the homepage, they need to click on the link related to the NEET UG 2026 correction window. After logging in using their application number and password, candidates can access their submitted application form.
Once the form opens, applicants may edit the permitted fields and review the changes carefully.

Candidates should download the confirmation page after submitting the corrected form for future reference.
Which fields can be edited in the NEET UG 2026 form
During the correction period, candidates are allowed to modify selected details in their application form. These include educational qualification details for Class 10 and Class 12, the state or Union Territory where the Class 12 examination was passed or will be attempted, and category or PwD status.
Applicants may also update their signature, preferred exam city, and medium of examination. In addition, the agency has allowed candidates to correct either their father’s details or their mother’s details, including name, occupation, and qualification.
If the modification results in a higher application fee, candidates will need to pay the difference. However, the agency has stated that any excess fee already paid will not be refunded.
Why is the NEET UG 2026 correction window important
The NTA has described the correction window as a one-time opportunity for candidates to rectify errors in their application forms. Incorrect information may lead to complications during the examination or admission process, making this step crucial.
