File photo NEW DELHI: National Testing Agency (NTA) on Friday announced a set of candidate-friendly changes for the June 21 NEET-UG 2026 retest, extending the overall examination window from 180 minutes to 195 minutes and increasing the number of rough-work pages in the question booklet.The retest comes after cancellation of the May 3 exam following paper leak, which is being probed by CBI. In a notice, NTA said the exam — for admissions to medical colleges — will be held from 2 pm to 5.15 pm. The additional 15 minutes will accommodate mandatory formalities (attendance signing and other procedures).Based on feedback received over the years, the agency said the revised schedule would ensure candidates get the full intended exam time without administrative processes affecting their opportunity to attempt the question paper.NTA has also doubled the rough-work space available in the question booklet. Candidates will now receive four rough-work pages instead of two. The agency has also changed the booklet layout. Earlier, rough-work pages were placed at the end of the question paper. Based on feedback that this was less convenient for left-handed candidates, two rough-work pages will now be placed immediately after the instruction page at the beginning of the booklet, while two will remain at the end.Get the latest India news and live updates.
