The National Testing Agency (NTA) says it will conduct the NEET UG re-exam with safeguards to ensure fairness and against malpractice. In messages to candidates, the NTA urges students to stay calm and rely on their preparation, while also dismissing rumors about postponement. The agency highlights security arrangements and states it will take firm action where misconduct is detected.

Both reports note that the NTA is drawing attention to students’ stress ahead of the examination and is encouraging a supportive environment. NDTV adds that the NTA reiterates mental health assistance through the government’s MANAS helpline, while Times of India emphasizes the same helpline as part of its outreach.

The NTA’s communications present the re-exam as proceeding as scheduled, with measures intended to protect the integrity of the process and to provide candidates access to mental health support during a period of heightened anxiety.
