The National Testing Agency (NTA) has made a groundbreaking move by expanding the reach of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) to overseas locations. Now, candidates residing abroad have the opportunity to take the NEET UG examination in various international cities. The registration process commenced on February 9 and will conclude on March 9, 2024.
In a significant announcement, NTA revealed the inclusion of several new examination center cities abroad. These cities include Kuwait City, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Colombo, Doha, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos, Manama, Muscat, Riyadh, Sharjah, and Singapore. This expansion aims to facilitate aspiring medical students from across the globe to take the NEET UG exam.
NTA has also introduced provisions for candidates who had initially chosen centers within Bharat but wish to switch to international cities. During the application correction phase, these candidates can rectify their center and country preferences without any hassle. However, they will be required to pay the differential amount as per NTA guidelines.
Moreover, fresh applicants residing in foreign countries can directly select overseas centers during the application process. This simplifies the procedure for international candidates, enabling them to seamlessly choose their preferred examination center from the dropdown menu.
For detailed information regarding NEET UG 2024, including the application form, information bulletin, syllabus, and exam pattern, candidates can visit the official website neet.ntaonline.in.

In related news, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has implemented minor modifications to the NEET syllabus for the 2024 exams. These changes were introduced in 2023 to accommodate adjustments in the NCERT syllabus following the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The alterations aim to ensure that the syllabus remains relevant and reflective of the current academic landscape, thus equipping candidates with the necessary knowledge and skills for the examination.
Overall, the expansion of NEET UG to international locations presents a significant opportunity for aspiring medical professionals worldwide, promoting inclusivity and accessibility in medical education and assessment.
