The National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) UG 2024 is scheduled for May 5, 2024, and candidates are immersed in exam preparation. While securing a commendable test score is paramount, there’s an often overlooked yet crucial aspect that can impact the exam day experience – the Self-Declaration Form (SDF).
The NEET UG Admit Card issued by the National Testing Agency (NTA) is accompanied by the SDF. It’s a document where candidates affirm certain key points related to their health and compliance with exam regulations.
The significance of the Self-Declaration Form lies in two main reasons:
1. Exam Day Entry:
The Self-Declaration Form is an essential requirement for exam day. Candidates must present a completed and duly signed SDF along with their admit card at the exam center. Failure to do so may result in denied entry to the exam hall.
2. Maintaining Exam Integrity:
The Self-Declaration Form reinforces the importance of adhering to exam rules and regulations. By signing the form, candidates acknowledge and agree to abide by all guidelines set forth by the NTA, preventing unfair practices such as using unauthorized materials or communicating with others during the exam.
The exact content of the Self-Declaration Form may vary slightly from year to year, but generally, it will require candidates to declare the following:
– Absence of COVID-19 Symptoms: Candidates must confirm that they are not experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, such as fever, cough, or cold, on the day of the exam.
– No Exposure to COVID-19: Candidates will be asked to declare if they have been in recent contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
– Following Exam Rules: The form will include a statement where candidates acknowledge and agree to follow all exam rules and regulations as outlined by the NTA.
To fill out the Self-Declaration Form, candidates should:
1. Download the Form: Visit the NTA website and locate the download link for the NEET UG Admit Card. The Self-Declaration Form will typically be available alongside the admit card.
2. Review the Instructions: Carefully read any instructions provided on the form or the website regarding completion.
3. Fill in the Details: Using a black pen, accurately fill in all the required information, including name, roll number, and exam center details.
4. Check for Symptoms: Read the declarations pertaining to COVID-19 symptoms and recent exposure. If there are any concerns, it’s crucial to consult a doctor before exam day.
5. Sign and Date: Ensure to sign and date the form at the designated section.
By following these steps and submitting a completed Self-Declaration Form along with their admit card, NEET UG 2024 aspirants can ensure a smooth and hassle-free exam day experience.
