a) Any item like textual material (printed or written), bits of papers, Geometry/Pencil Box, Plastic Pouch, Calculator, Pen, Scale, Writing Pad, Pen Drives, Eraser, Calculator, Log Table, Electronic Pen/Scanner, etc.

2. No arrangement will be made at the Centres for keeping any articles/items belonging to the candidates.

3. The candidates wearing articles or objects of faith (customary/ cultural/ religious ) should report at the examination centre atleast two hours before the last reporting time so that there is enough time for proper frisking without any inconvenience to the candidate while maintaining the sanctity of the examination. If upon screening, it is discovered that any candidate is actually carrying a suspected device within such item of faith, he/ she may be asked not to take it into the examination hall.

In case any candidate is found in possession of any of the barred items inside the Centre, it will be considered as an Unfair Means case and action will be taken against the candidate in accordance with the relevant provisions.

Dress Code.

1. The candidates are instructed to follow the following dress code while appearing for NEET (UG) - 2021:

a. Light clothes with long sleeves are not permitted. However in case, candidates come in cultural/ customary dress at the Examination Centre, they should report at least an hour before the last reporting time i.e. 12.30 pm so that there is enough time for proper frisking without any inconvenience to the candidate while maintaining the sanctity of the examination.

b. Slippers, sandals with low heels are permitted. Shoes are not permitted.

c. In case of any deviation required due to unavoidable (medical, etc.) circumstances, specific approval of NTA must be taken before the Admit Cards are issued.

2. It is desired that the candidates follow instructions issued by the NTA strictly. This will help NTA in the fair conduct of the examination.

Note: The NTA believes in the sanctity and fairness of conducting the examination, however, it also believes in the sensitivity involved in frisking (girl) candidates and will issue comprehensive instructions accordingly to the staff and other officials at the Examination Centres. The frisking of the female candidates will be done inside a closed enclosure by a female staff only.
