What kind of responsibilities has NTA addressed to the students?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPresently, NTA has made it compulsory for the students to update their Aadhar Card address. Latest changes in the exam city selection rule indicate that NTA will link your test centre with your Aadhar Card address. It\u2019s done with the main objective of curbing impersonation and cheating in these types of national-level entrance examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are there any additional guidelines for OBC\/SC\/ST\/PwD or EWS category students?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll the candidates who belong to the EWS\/OBC\/ST\/SC\/PwD category must check and ensure that their reservation certificate details are similar to the Aadhar Card and Class 10th grade certificate. If any candidate is caught submitting false documents, NTA will straightaway reject their reservation claim or might disqualify them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which details must match the Aadhar Card?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe fresh guidelines highlight that your Class 10th records must be identical to your Aadhar Card. Candidates who provide incorrect or incomplete information will face cancellation of their application form in 2026. Check your documents before you proceed to submit the application form online. If they are not up-to-date, then prioritise updating them at the earliest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why has NTA made a new official announcement about exam centre selection?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the past, candidates appearing in such competitive examinations, which take place at the national level, were found to be involved in uneven and unfair practices. Due to this reason, NTA has come up with a public declaration where test centres will be allocated to the students nearby to their Aadhar Card address. This proactive approach will help them to strengthen fairness and equality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From which year will NTA implement the exam city change selection rule 2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNTA will start to allocate the exam centres in relevance to the Aadhar address from the 2026-27 academic session. Every candidate must double-check their details on the Aadhar Card, Class 10th marksheet and reservation certificate. Details must be similar on all these documents. Mismatch of documents or any kind of discrepancies will prohibit the particular candidate from appearing in their target competitive exam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
