New Delhi, February 21

The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Wednesday said it had added 14 exam centres abroad for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG). The NTA had earlier announced 554 centres across India, but no exam centre were allocated in foreign cities.

The newly centres would be in Kuwait City, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Colombo, Doha, Kathmandu, Kuala Lampur, Lagos, Manama, Muscat, Riyadh, Sharjah and Singapore.

The agency also said that the candidates who had already selected the exam centre in India and paid the fee without the option for foreign centres would now have the opportunity to correct the centre and country during the correction window period.

The correction window opens after the closure of the registration window. However, a differential amount will have to be paid for changing exam centre to any foreign city.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
