How to Access the Correction Window
To make corrections, candidates must visit the official NEET UG website and log in using their application credentials. It is essential to verify all details carefully before submitting the revised form, as this is the only chance to edit the application before the exam.
Editable Fields in the NEET UG 2026 Application
The NTA has specified several fields that candidates can modify during the correction period. These include:
- Personal Details: Candidates can change either their father’s name, qualification, and occupation or their mother’s name, qualification, and occupation.

If corrections result in a change in the application fee, candidates will be required to pay any additional amount to complete the process. The updated details will only be accepted after the payment of applicable fees.
