Kuwait included for NEET exam Centre
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has added 14 cities, including Kuwait, for the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) UG 2024. Earlier, Kuwait was not in the list of exam centers in its initial decision.
The testing agency informed that students who have already filled the NEET UG application form 2024 will be able to change exam centres during the application correction facility.
NTA has now decided to conduct the exams in the following cities: Kuwait, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Bangkok, Colombo, Doha, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos, Manama, Muscat, Riyadh and Singapore.
Informing about option to change centre, NTA said in an official notice, “Candidates who have already selected centres in India and paid the fee without the option for foreign centres will have the opportunity to correct their centre and country choice during the correction window. The window will open after the registration window closes.”
Candidates in foreign countries will also be able to change their centres to foreign cities during the NEET UG 2024 application correction process. However, such students will be required to pay the difference in amount upon choosing the centres, NTA added.
The process of choosing exam centres during NEET registration 2024 will be easy for fresh candidates from foreign countries as they could select the preferred exam city directly from the drop-down menu.
While removing foreign exam centres earlier, NTA had increased the number of NEET UG 2024 exam centres to 554. NEET UG registration 2024 commenced on February 9. The medical entrance exam for admission to MBBS, BDS programmes will be held on May 5.
It was in 2021, NTA added Kuwait as the first exam center outside India, which benefits large number of Indian students based in Kuwait.
