NEET PG Re-Exam September 5, 2026 - Jaipur Centre Candidates

NEET PG re-exam on September 5 2026, has been announced by NBEMS for around 300 candidates affected by a power outage at the iON Digital Zone Sitapura 2 center in Jaipur. The original NEET PG 2026 exam was successfully held nationwide on August 30 for over 2.6 lakh candidates. A revised admit card will be issued separately for the September 5 re-exam, and affected students must download it from natboard.edu.in before the exam date.

This update is different from the NEET UG re-exam covered elsewhere on this page. The NEET PG 2026 exam was successfully conducted across the country on August 30, 2026, for over 2.6 lakh candidates. However, due to a power outage at the iON Digital Zone Sitapura 2 centre in Jaipur, around 300 candidates could not complete their exam as scheduled. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has now announced a NEET PG re-exam on September 5, 2026 exclusively for these affected candidates.

It's important for students to understand that this is not a nationwide re-exam; the vast majority of NEET PG 2026 candidates who appeared on August 30 are unaffected and do not need to take any further action. This revised exam applies strictly to the Jaipur centre candidates whose paper was disrupted.

Quick Facts: NEET PG Jaipur Centre Re-Exam

About NEET PG 2026 - A Quick Background

Before getting into the details of the re-exam, it helps to understand the scale of NEET PG 2026. The exam is conducted by NBEMS as the single eligibility-cum-entrance test for admission to MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses for the 2026-27 academic session, covering All-India 50% quota seats, state quota seats, private medical colleges, deemed universities, Armed Forces Medical Services institutions, and DNB courses. This year, the exam catered to admissions across roughly 26,168 MD seats, 13,649 MS seats, and 922 PG Diploma seats, spread over more than 6,100 government, private, deemed, and central university institutions.

The exam itself follows a fairly standard format a computer-based test (CBT) with 200 multiple-choice questions to be attempted in three hours and thirty minutes, with four marks awarded for every correct answer and one mark deducted for every incorrect response. On August 30, this format ran smoothly at the vast majority of centres nationwide, and the disruption was isolated to a single venue in Jaipur.

Why the Re-Exam Was Announced

The disruption at the Jaipur center happened during the original single-shift exam window (9:00 AM to 12:30 PM) on August 30. With the center unable to continue the test due to the power failure, NBEMS took the decision to reschedule the exam for the affected batch rather than risk an incomplete or compromised attempt. In a computer-based exam, a sudden power cut isn't just an inconvenience, it can interrupt the test software mid-question, disturb the timer, and leave candidates uncertain about whether their responses were even recorded. Rather than allow that uncertainty to affect a high-stakes postgraduate medical entrance exam, NBEMS opted for the cleaner route: cancel the attempt for that center and schedule a proper re-conduct.

Candidates allotted to this centre have been advised not to panic, as NBEMS has confirmed that separate communication regarding reporting time and further instructions for the September 5 exam will follow. This kind of centre-specific rescheduling isn't unusual for large-scale national exams, technical and infrastructure issues at individual venues do occur occasionally, and the standard practice across testing agencies, including NBEMS, is to isolate the fix to the affected group rather than disturb the schedule for everyone else.

How Is This Different From the NEET UG Re-Exam?

Since both updates use the word "re-exam" and appear around the same time, it's worth being absolutely clear about the distinction, especially since this page also covers the separate NEET UG 2026 re-examination story.

As the table shows, these are two entirely separate situations tied to two different exams under two different NBE bodies (NTA conducts NEET UG, while NBEMS conducts NEET PG). Candidates should make sure they're following updates relevant to the exam they actually appeared for.

How to Download the Revised NEET PG Admit Card

Candidates affected by the Jaipur center disruption should follow these steps to get their updated NEET PG hall ticket:

1. Visit the official website - natboard.edu.in
2. Click on the NEET PG 2026 exam section on the homepage.
3. Look for the revised admit card link for the September 5 re-exam.
4. Log in using your registered User ID and password.
5. Download and print the NEET PG admit card for the re-exam.
6. Carry the admit card along with a valid photo ID to the exam center on the day of the test.

Candidates are advised to check every detail on the revised admit card carefully, including the exam center address, reporting time, and candidate details, since a fresh document is being generated specifically for this rescheduled date.

What Affected Candidates Should Do Now

• Regularly check natboard.edu.in for the official notice confirming reporting time and center details for September 5.
• Do not rely on unofficial sources or social media for updates, NBEMS communication will come directly through the official portal.
• Keep the original August 30 admit card safe as well, in case it is needed for verification purposes.
• Candidates from centres other than Jaipur's iON Digital Zone Sitapura 2 are not affected and should proceed as per their original schedule and results timeline.
• Save the NBEMS helpline details and official email contacts in case any discrepancy shows up on the revised admit card.

Will This Affect the NEET PG 2026 Result Timeline?

One question on every affected candidate's mind is whether this center-specific delay will push back the overall NEET PG 2026 result. Based on how NBEMS has handled similar localized disruptions in the past, a small batch re-exam like this is unlikely to delay results for the entire candidate pool. Results for the majority of candidates who appeared on August 30 are expected to proceed on the originally planned timeline, around September 30, 2026, which also happens to be the cut-off date for internship completion eligibility.

For the roughly 300 Jaipur center candidates, their scores will most likely be processed and merged into the overall result once their September 5 answer sheets are evaluated, though NBEMS has not issued a separate public timeline for this yet. Candidates should treat any date mentioned outside of official NBEMS communication as speculation and continue checking natboard.edu.in directly.

Preparing for the Extra Days Before September 5

For the affected candidates, this unexpected gap between August 30 and September 5 doesn't have to be wasted time if anything, it's a short but useful window to sharpen preparation further. A few practical ways to use these days:

• Revisit high-yield subjects: Since NEET PG covers the entire MBBS curriculum, use the extra days to revise subjects you found tougher in your initial preparation rather than starting anything new.
• Practice under timed conditions: Attempt a couple of full-length mock tests within the exact 3-hour-30-minute window to keep your exam-day rhythm intact.
• Avoid over-preparation stress: A short delay can create pressure to "do more," but burning out right before the actual test does more harm than good. Stick to a light, focused revision schedule.
• Sort out logistics early: Confirm travel and accommodation plans for September 5 well in advance, especially if the exam centre address on the revised admit card changes from the original one.
• Keep documents ready: Along with the revised admit card, carry the same original ID proof and photograph specifications required for the August 30 exam, unless NBEMS specifies otherwise.

Conclusion

The NEET PG re-exam on September 5, 2026 is a targeted, center-specific fix rather than a full-scale postponement, which should come as a relief to the vast majority of the 2.6 lakh candidates who completed their exam without issue on August 30. For the roughly 300 candidates affected by the Jaipur power outage, the priority now is simple: keep checking natboard.edu.in for the revised admit card and any last-minute instructions, and treat the extra days as a chance to revise rather than worry. NBEMS has been clear that this is a contained, local disruption not a reflection of any wider problem with the exam so affected students can walk into the September 5 test with the same preparation and confidence they had on August 30.
