Introduction
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially opened the NEET UG 2025 application correction window, giving registered candidates a final opportunity to correct errors in their application forms. The correction facility will remain active until March 11, 2025, on the official website neet.nta.nic.in.
This is one of the most crucial phases of the NEET registration process, as even a small mistake in your form could lead to disqualification or denial of entry to the exam hall. Hence, every aspirant must review and verify their form carefully before the window closes.
What is the NEET UG Correction Window?
The correction window is a short period offered by the NTA after the registration phase, allowing candidates to edit certain details in their NEET UG 2025 application forms.
This ensures that any inadvertent mistakes made during the initial registration process can be corrected without jeopardizing a student’s eligibility.
It’s important to note that not all details can be modified only specific fields are editable, as mentioned by the NTA.
What Details Can Be Changed in NEET UG 2025 Form?
According to the NTA notification, candidates can correct or modify the following fields in their NEET UG 2025 application form:
- Parent’s names
- Educational qualifications
- State of eligibility
- Category and sub-category
- Exam city (if the permanent address is modified)
- Disability status
- Signature
- Number of NEET attempts
Candidates should remember that these changes are final once submitted, so double-check all entries before confirming.
If your changes alter your category or eligibility status, you may have to pay an additional correction fee before submitting the updated form.

Eligibility Clarification for NIOS Students
One of the most discussed points this year has been the eligibility of NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) students for NEET UG 2025.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has confirmed that NIOS students are eligible to appear for the exam, as long as they have studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English as their main subjects.
However, if an NIOS student takes an additional subject, they must study it from a recognized and authorized institution.
This clarification came after an RTI query raised doubts about the eligibility criteria mentioned in the NEET 2025 information bulletin.
The NTA has reaffirmed that its guidelines align with the NMC’s official eligibility rules.
