Government Simplifies NEET-UG 2026 Counselling Process

Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda announced a revised NEET-UG 2026 counselling framework on July 29, introducing one-time physical reporting and online seat resignation to improve student accessibility.

Candidates can now choose 'Freeze' or 'Float' options online, with the 'Float' option allowing for document verification and admission formalities to be completed digitally without physical presence.

The new system mandates one-time document verification and fee payment, while also digitizing the NRI category admission process to replace previous email-based document submission requirements.
