NEET UG 2026 Advisory: Update Aadhaar, UDID & Category Certificates Before Applying
The Ultimate NEET-UG 2026 Preparation Strategy: From Syllabus to Success
Preparing for NEET UG 2026 is not only about mastering Physics, Chemistry, and Biology—it also requires absolute accuracy in documentation. In an important public notice dated 05 January 2026, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a clear advisory to all NEET UG 2026 aspirants regarding mandatory document updates before filling the online application form.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in application rejection, grievances, or disqualification at later stages, including counselling. This blog explains the advisory in simple terms and tells you exactly what you must do—now, not at the last minute.

📢 Why This Advisory Matters for NEET UG 2026 Aspirants
Every year, thousands of NEET applications face issues due to:
- Mismatched names or dates of birth
- Invalid or expired category certificates
- Incorrect Aadhaar details
- Unverified disability documents
To streamline the NEET UG 2026 application process and prevent such problems, NTA has strongly advised candidates to update and validate key documents well in advance.
🪪 Aadhaar Card: Must Be Accurate and Updated
All NEET UG 2026 candidates are advised to ensure that their Aadhaar Card is valid, accurate, and fully updated.
Your Aadhaar must correctly reflect:
- ✅ Name
- ✅ Date of Birth
- ✅ Gender
- ✅ Recent Photograph
- ✅ Complete Address
- ✅ Biometric Information (wherever applicable)
Any mismatch between Aadhaar details and NEET application data can lead to serious verification issues.
🔧 Need to Update Aadhaar?
Candidates requiring corrections or updates should strictly follow guidelines issued by Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
🔗 Official Aadhaar update portals:
⚠️ Do not wait until NEET registration opens—Aadhaar updates may take time.
♿ UDID Card: Mandatory for Persons with Disabilities (PwD)
Candidates applying under the PwD category must ensure that their UDID (Unique Disability ID) Card is:
- Valid
- Updated
- Renewed (if applicable)
An expired or invalid UDID card can result in loss of PwD benefits during admission or counselling.
🏷️ Category Certificate: EWS / SC / ST / OBC-NCL
Candidates claiming reservation under EWS, SC, ST, or OBC-NCL categories must ensure that their category certificate is current and valid.
Key reminders:
- Certificates must be as per latest Government norms
- Old or expired certificates may not be accepted
- OBC candidates must ensure Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) status is valid for the relevant academic year
Incorrect or outdated certificates are one of the most common reasons for rejection during counselling.
