NEET UG 2026 Registration Guide: Documents Required and Step-by-Step Process
Starting your journey toward a medical degree is an exciting but high-stakes process. For students aiming for MBBS, BDS, or AYUSH courses in 2026, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is the only gateway. However, clearing the exam is only half the battle. The first hurdle is completing your registration without any errors that could lead to rejection.
At Aditya Global Educational Services (AGES), we have spent over twenty years helping students navigate these complexities. Here is everything you need to know about the NEET UG 2026 registration process and how to ensure your application is perfect.
Why NEET UG 2026 is Your Most Important Step
The competition for medical seats in India grows every year. NEET UG 2026 is the mandatory national-level test for almost all undergraduate medical programs. Whether you are aiming for a top government college or a premier private institution, your journey starts with a successful online application. Even a small mistake in your document upload or category selection can disqualify you before you even enter the exam hall.

How to Register: A Step-by-Step Summary
