The National Testing Agency (NTA) has clarified the controversy involving a Nagpur-based Re-NEET 2026 aspirant who was allotted an examination centre in Abu Dhabi. According to the agency, a review of web activity logs showed that the examination city was changed through the candidate's own registered login during the correction window.
NTA's Investigation Findings
NTA said the candidate accessed the portal three times, changed the city to Abu Dhabi during the first login, and previewed the updated application details twice before final submission. The agency stated that there was no indication of unauthorised access or a technical error.
Centre Change Processed After Family Request
Despite this, after receiving a request from the student's family just days before the examination, NTA processed a centre change to Nagpur. The agency reiterated that its priority is ensuring no candidate misses the examination due to administrative concerns.
This clarification comes amid widespread speculation and concern over the allotment of foreign exam centres to Indian students. The NTA's detailed log analysis confirms that the change was made by the candidate himself, dispelling rumours of a system glitch or external interference.
