NEET 2024 Dress Code for Boys & Girls

NEET 2024

The National Testing Agency (NTA) is gearing to conduct the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) UG 2024.

There are strict dress codes for boys and girls to follow in order to enter the examination halls and attend the paper.

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 so that there is enough time for proper frisking without any inconvenience to the candidate while maintaining the sanctity of the examination.

Slippers, sandals with low heels are permitted. However, shoes are not permitted.

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.

The candidates will be subjected to extensive and compulsory frisking before entering the Examination Centre with the help of highly sensitive metal detectors. The candidates are not allowed to carry the following items inside the Examination Centre under any circumstances.

“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 female staff only,” the NTA has said in an official circular.

The following items are barred in the examination centre:

1) any item like textual material (printed or written),
2) bits of papers,
3) geometry/Pencil Box, Plastic Pouch,
4) calculator, Pen, Scale, Writing Pad, Pen Drives, Eraser, Calculator,
5) log Table, Electronic Pen/Scanner, etc.
6) any communication device like Mobile Phone, Bluetooth, Earphones, Microphone, Pager, Health Band, etc.
7) Other items like Wallet, Goggles, Handbags, Belt, Cap, etc
8) any Watch/Wristwatch, Bracelet, Camera, etc.
9) any ornaments/metallic items,
10) any food items opened or packed, water bottle, etc.

Any other item which could be used for unfair means, by hiding communication devices like a microchip, camera, Bluetooth device, etc will also be barred.

To be sure, no arrangement will be made at the Centres for keeping any articles/items belonging to the candidates. The candidates wearing articles or objects of faith (customary/ cultural/ religious ) should report at the examination centre at least 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 an item of faith, he/ she may be asked not to take it into the examination hall.
