It's understandable that you're worried about the interchange of your father's and mother's names on your NEET application, especially with the correction window now closed. Unfortunately, this situation could potentially create issues during various stages of the NEET process, from the exam day itself to the counselling and admission.

While the correction window was open from March 9th to March 11th, 2025, and it allowed for edits in parent's names, since it's now closed, directly changing it through the official portal is no longer an option.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean you will be absolutely barred from writing the exam. Here's a breakdown of what you should do:

Immediately Contact the NTA: This is the most crucial step. Reach out to the National Testing Agency (NTA) via their helpline number (011-40759000 / 011-69227700) or email them at neetug2025@nta.ac.in. Explain your situation clearly and politely. They are the ultimate authority and can provide the most accurate guidance on how to proceed.

Keep Proof of Communication: Note down the date and time of your calls and keep copies of any emails you send to the NTA. This documentation can be helpful in the future.

Check the Information Bulletin: Review the NEET 2025 Information Bulletin carefully. It might contain specific instructions or guidelines for discrepancies in application details after the correction window closes.

Prepare Supporting Documents: Gather any documents that can serve as proof of your parents' correct names, such as their government-issued IDs (Aadhaar card, PAN card, etc.) and your Class 10 and 12 mark sheets. You might need these if the NTA asks for clarification.

At the Exam Center: On the day of the NEET exam (May 4th, 2025), carry your admit card along with original identification documents. If you face any issues at the entry due to the name mismatch, politely explain the situation to the invigilator and any NTA officials present. Show them any communication you've had with the NTA regarding the error and your supporting documents.

While there's no guarantee of a specific outcome, proactively communicating with the NTA is your best course of action. They might have a process in place to handle such inadvertent errors, even after the correction window has closed. Ignoring the issue and hoping for the best could lead to more complications later.
