Is the NEET admit card required during counselling?

Yes, the NEET Admit Card is a mandatory document required during the counseling process.

Here's why it's important

• Proof of Identity and Eligibility: The admit card contains vital information like your Roll Number, Application Number, Name, Photograph, and Exam Centre details. This information is cross-verified during registration and document verification at the allotted college.
• Verification during Admission: When you report to the allotted college for admission, the original NEET Admit Card is one of the key documents that college authorities will check against your other credentials.
• Confirmation of Appearance: It confirms that you actually sat for the NEET UG exam for that particular year.
• Links to Your Scorecard: Your admit card details are linked to your NEET Scorecard/Rank Letter, which also needs to be presented.

What if you lost your original NEET Admit Card?

While you should ideally keep your original admit card safe until the entire admission process is complete, if you have lost it, you might be able to download a printout from the NTA NEET official website even after the exam. 

Some counseling authorities might accept a clear printout, but it's always best to have the original. If you can't retrieve it, contact the NTA or the counseling authority for guidance.
