Kota (Rajasthan): The National Testing Agency announced on Wednesday that the medical entrance exam NEET-UG will also be conducted at exam centres in 14 foreign cities of 12 countries on May 5.
NTA Senior Director (Exams) Sadhna Parashar said, "The NEET-UG entrance exam will also be conducted in 14 foreign cities in 12 countries. The 14 foreign cities where the exam will conducted are Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah (UAE); Kuwait City in Kuwait; Bangkok in Thailand; Colombo in Sri Lanka; Doha in Qatar; Kathmandu in Nepal; Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia; Lagos in Nigeria; Manama in Bahrain; Muscat in Oman; Riyadh in Saudi Arabia; and Singapore."
The students who have already selected the examination centre in India and want to appear for the examination abroad, have also been given the option to change their examination centre and country choice during the correction window which will open after the registration window closes, Parashar said.
Parijat Mishra, a career counseling expert at Kota's private coaching institute, said, "Examination centers have been set up in 14 cities outside India. Most of these are in India's neighboring and Gulf countries. The centres had been announced at the time of registration every year but this time the National Testing Agency did not do so. That is why a separate notification has been issued later."
"The National Testing Agency has also directed the students that the correction window will also be opened after the completion of the registration process. The NTA had fixed the fee for foreign candidates at Rs 9500, Mishra said. The Testing Agency started online applications for the NEET-UG 2024 examination from February 9.
