Srinagar, March 6: The All India Medical Students Association (AIMSA) has urged the National Testing Agency (NTA) and Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda to intervene in resolving difficulties faced by students in Kashmir while registering for NEET-UG 2026.
According to AIMSA, many students in the region are unable to complete their online registration because they are not receiving OTP verification codes, which are required to finalize the application process.
The association said the problem appears to be linked to prevailing network restrictions, preventing a large number of aspirants from successfully completing their applications.
With the registration deadline of March 8 approaching, AIMSA has appealed to authorities to urgently address the issue so that affected students do not lose the opportunity to appear in the national medical entrance examination.
AIMSA Vice President Dr Mohammad Momin Khan said several NEET aspirants and their parents have been contacting the association regarding the problem.
“Many students are unable to complete the application process due to OTP failures. Authorities must intervene immediately to resolve the issue so that students can register before the deadline,” he said.
AIMSA representatives said timely action is crucial to protect the academic future of thousands of medical aspirants from Kashmir, urging authorities to ensure that technical or connectivity issues do not disadvantage students from the region. [KNT]
