Meanwhile, Union home secretary Govind Mohan reviewed the preparedness of state govts for the NEET(UG) retest with a special focus on student convenience, security arrangements, and the integrity of the process. He directed states and central agencies to ensure that security protocols are strictly followed.“We are aware that some of you are facing technical glitches or server issues in accessing your admit cards. Our teams have been working towards resolving all these issues,” the agency said, adding that all candidates would receive their admit cards.Candidates took to X and other platforms to report login failures, slow-loading pages and difficulties accessing hall tickets. Several posts also sought clarification on refunds and bank account details submitted on the portal.NTA in a separate advisory said that all refunds would be credited directly to bank accounts or refund details provided by candidates on the official portal. It urged candidates to verify their details and warned them against fraudulent calls, messages and links claiming to speed up or verify refunds.The agency said it never asks for OTPs, passwords, UPI PINs or payments to process refunds. Candidates who entered incorrect bank details will be given another opportunity after the examination to make corrections.The warning gained significance after Ahmedabad cyber crime arrested Rajasthan residents Sumer Singh and Akash Meena, who allegedly operated Telegram channels promising question papers and admissions in exchange for money.Investigators said no confidential NEET material or question papers were recovered and the claims were entirely fraudulent. Police also found around 44 cybercrime-linked websites and multiple Telegram groups allegedly operated by the accused, with transactions exceeding Rs 1.5 crore passing through their accounts over the past year.
