The window closes on April 21 at 11:50 pm. The move comes in compliance with directions from the Court, and follows provisions made in the online application form that allowed PwD/PwBD candidates to opt for their own scribe after exam city intimation was issued. The NEET UG 2026 examination is scheduled to be held on May 3 in pen-and-paper mode across the country.

The portal is exclusively for PwD and PwBD candidates who had already opted to bring their own scribe at the time of filling out their NEET application form. Only those candidates will be able to see the ‘Register Scribe Details’ button on their candidate home page upon logging in. Candidates who had not selected this option during their UG application will not have access to this feature.
Candidates who are eligible to submit scribe details must follow these steps. They need to log in to the NTA examination services portal using their application number and password at the link provided in the notice on examinationservices.nic.in. Once logged in, they must click on the ‘Register Scribe Details’ button on their home page, select the scribe option, and fill in the applicable details. Once submitted, the information will be reflected in the ‘View Application Form’ section on the left side of the candidate dashboard as well as on the confirmation page.
