A major administrative error ahead of the NEET Re-Exam 2026 has left a medical aspirant from Nagpur and his family worried after his admit card reportedly showed an examination centre in Abu Dhabi instead of India.
The issue surfaced just a day before the NEET UG 2026 re-examination scheduled for June 21. According to reports, the student, Abdullah Mohammad Talib from Nagpur, discovered that his newly issued admit card listed an Indian school in Abu Dhabi as his examination venue. The incident quickly drew attention on social media and among students preparing for the re-test.
Student and family raise concerns
The candidate’s family said they were shocked to see the overseas examination centre mentioned on the admit card. The situation became even more concerning because the student reportedly does not possess a passport, making international travel impossible at such short notice.
The family subsequently contacted authorities and sought clarification regarding the unexpected centre allocation.
