Kashmir NEET 2026 Aspirants Face Registration Hurdles Amid 2G Network, Seek Extension of March 8 Deadline
Srinagar,ILTIJA MUFTI SAID TODAY 6 MARCH : NEET 2026 aspirants in Kashmir are facing significant difficulties in registering for the national medical entrance exam due to severe network restrictions in the region. With internet services limited to 2G speeds, many students are unable to receive OTPs required for completing the registration process.
Students have raised concerns that the current situation is affecting their ability to apply before the March 8 deadline, which they say is unfair given the technical barriers beyond their control.
In a social media appeal, candidates requested the National Testing Agency (@NTA_Exams) and the Ministry of Education (@EduMinOfIndia) to intervene and consider extending the registration deadline to ensure fair participation.
Local educationists and student leaders have echoed the call, stressing that restricted internet access is preventing equal opportunity for students in Jammu and Kashmir, and could severely impact their chances at medical education this year.
The National Testing Agency has not yet issued a statement regarding the registration challenges or the possibility of extending the deadline. Students and parents continue to hope for swift action to prevent disruption to their academic future.
