The National Testing Agency (NTA) began accepting applications for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG 2023) on March 6th.
This year, the testing agency has made several alterations to the exam, including an increase in fees, a reduction in the number of exam centres, and a modification to the tie-breaking rule.
In previous years, age and NEET UG application number were among the criteria used in the NEET UG tie-breaking policy.
However, the NTA has removed them this year. The NEET UG registration link is now active on the NTA NEET official website, neet.nta.nic.in.
