Treat the dates above as indicative of the shape of the cycle rather than the current calendar — they are the 2020 window. What holds is the sequence: apply, then correct, then admit card.

How to make a correction #

Log in, edit the permitted fields, pay any difference, and print the revised confirmation page.

  1. Log in to the NTA application portal with your application number and password.
  2. Open the correction form and edit only the fields shown as editable for your ID type.
  3. Pay any additional fee if a change moves you into a higher fee category.
  4. Print the revised confirmation page. The earlier copy is superseded.

The window applies to the form you already submitted — see the application process for what goes into it in the first place, and NEET 2027 for where the window sits in the wider cycle.

Frequently asked #

What can I correct in my NEET application?
Category, disability status and state code of eligibility are editable by all candidates. Identity, date of birth and gender are editable only by candidates who did not register with an Aadhaar card. Medium and examination centre are restricted by state.
Why can't I change my date of birth?
Because you registered with an Aadhaar card. Those details are taken from Aadhaar and cannot be overridden in the correction window.
How long is the correction window open?
Roughly two weeks, opening after the application period closes. It opens once and is not reopened.
Do I have to pay again?
Only if a correction moves you into a higher fee category. Otherwise there is no additional charge.
