The NTA is giving provision to students to make changes in their examination centre city because of the problems faced by them due to coronavirus and the nationwide shutdown. The NEET online application form is available on the official website  ntaneet.nic.in. Students can make correction in the online application forms till 5 pm on 14 April and can pay the examination fee till 11.50 pm. The additional amount, if applicable, can be paid through credit card/debit card/ net banking/ UPI and Paytm. On 3 April, NTA issued a notice saying that a fake public notice has been circulating regarding the change in the NEET syllabus. It informed candidates that there is no change in the syllabus. The announcement on NEET comes a day after NTA extended the date for making amendments in JEE (Main) 2020.
