VVT Coaching Chennai – Ranked #1 Best NEET & JEE Coaching Centre by Times Now!

The NEET 2026 exam day is an important milestone on your journey to becoming a doctor. While preparing for the exam is critical, properly organizing your documents is just as essential. Failure to carry the correct documents or items on exam day can lead to unnecessary stress or even disqualification from the exam.

This blog outlines the NEET 2026 exam day document checklist, including all mandatory items you must carry to the exam centre to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.

NEET 2026: List of Documents Required for Exam Centre

Here’s a quick list of the documents and things you MUST bring with you to the NEET exam centre:

1. NEET 2026 Admit Card

The admit card is your primary document to get entry into the exam hall. It contains your personal details and exam-related information. Ensure that:

• The admit card is printed clearly.
• You have two copies (one original, one backup).
• Your photo and signature are visible.

VVT Tip: Ensure you download your admit card well before the last date to avoid any last-minute website crashes or delays.

2. Valid Photo ID Proof

A government-issued ID is necessary for verification at the exam centre. You can use any one of the following valid IDs:

• Aadhaar Card (preferred)
• Voter ID
• Passport
• Driver’s License
• Class 12/10 ID Card (with photo)

Ensure your photo, name, and date of birth on the ID match the details on the admit card. If you are using your Aadhaar card for registration, it should also match the information in the form.

3. Passport Size Photograph

You are required to carry one recent passport-size photograph to be affixed on the NEET attendance sheet. The photograph should meet the following guidelines:

• The photo should be recent and clear.
• It must be a color photo.
• The background should be white or light-colored.

4. PwD Certificate (If Applicable)

If you are applying under the Person with Disability (PwD) category, ensure that you carry the PwD certificate issued by a recognized medical authority. This is important to get the necessary accommodations during the exam.

• Certificate must be signed by a medical practitioner as per the guidelines mentioned by NTA.
  
• Documents related to your PwD status should also be ready, such as your medical documents and proof of disability.

5. NEET 2026 Registration Slip

Along with your admit card, carry a copy of the NEET registration slip. This document contains essential details about your registration, such as your NEET roll number and the exam centre allotted to you.

6. Items Prohibited Inside the Exam Hall

To maintain a fair exam environment, NTA prohibits the carrying of certain items into the NEET exam hall. Here’s a list of items to leave at home:

• Chits/papers
• Food and drinks (except water in a transparent bottle)
• Any other item not explicitly allowed by NTA

NEET 2026: Exam Day Guidelines

On the day of the exam, here are some additional things you should know:

1. Reach the Exam Centre Early

To avoid stress, reach the exam centre at least 90 minutes before the scheduled start time. This allows for security checks and document verification.

2. Follow Dress Code Guidelines

NTA has specific dress code rules for the NEET exam, particularly to avoid carrying prohibited items such as jewelry, belts, or scarves. It’s best to wear comfortable, light-colored clothing that adheres to these guidelines.

3. Carry Only Essential Items

Ensure that you only carry the admit card, ID proof, photograph, and PwD certificate (if applicable). Leave all other belongings at home or in a safe place outside the exam hall.
