Nta neet 2026 dress code
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released a strict dress code for candidates appearing in the NEET UG 2026 exam on May 3, 2026. This advisory aims to ensure a fair and secure examination process.
Candidates are encouraged to wear light clothing to facilitate proper frisking. The NTA has emphasized that full sleeves and woollen garments are permitted if necessary, but students must arrive early for security checks. Footwear guidelines specify that slippers and low-heeled sandals are preferred.
Key dress code guidelines:
- Candidates must avoid heavy, layered, or thick fabric clothing.
- Metal items such as buttons, zips, chains, or accessories are not allowed.
- Hoodies, jackets, or full-sleeve T-shirts are prohibited.
- Articles of faith are permitted but must be reported and inspected before entry.
- A transparent water bottle is allowed inside the examination hall.
The NTA has urged all candidates to adhere to these instructions and cooperate with the examination staff to ensure a hassle-free examination process. “The key rule is to keep clothing light, simple, and non-restrictive to ensure smooth security checks at the exam centre,” an NTA official stated.
A uniform dress code ensures all students are treated equally at exam centres. Candidates can contact the NTA helpline at 011-40759000 or 011-69227700 for any clarifications regarding the exam day instructions.
