Updates:

The registration was initially scheduled from 09 February to 09 March 2024, then the registration window saw an extension up to 16th March.

Now, a few aspirants have asked NTA to reopen the application window. NTA listened to their requests and decided that these aspirants deserve another chance to apply. The NTA has now reopened the registration window.
