NEW DELHI, India | August 31, 2026 —
NEET PG 2026 re-exam will be conducted on September 5 at 3:00 PM in Jaipur for 2,445 candidates who were unable to complete the postgraduate medical entrance examination after technical disruption and internal power-supply problems affected two test centres in Sitapura.
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences has confirmed that the re-examination is limited to candidates affected at iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura centres TC 41682 and TC 41683.
The nationwide NEET PG 2026 examination was held on August 30.
According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, 2,73,096 candidates were scheduled to appear at 1,111 centres across 339 cities. A total of 2,65,980 candidates appeared, while approximately 2,63,535 successfully completed the examination.
NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam Date and Time
Affected Jaipur candidates should note the following confirmed schedule:
| Detail | NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam |
|---|---|
| Re-Exam Date | September 5, 2026 |
| Day | Saturday |
| Exam Time | 3:00 PM |
| City | Jaipur, Rajasthan |
| Affected Candidates | 2,445 |
| Affected Centres | TC 41682 and TC 41683 |
| Original Exam Date | August 30, 2026 |
NBEMS has said that the exact venue details and other examination-related instructions will be communicated separately to the concerned candidates.
Why Is NEET PG 2026 Being Held Again in Jaipur?
The problem occurred at two iON Digital Zone centres in Sitapura during the August 30 examination.
The Health Ministry said the examination could not be completed for 2,445 candidates because of internal power-supply issues at the test centres.
The government statement attributed the disruption to TCS Ltd., the agency conducting the examination.
Candidates at the affected centres reported repeated interruptions during the computer-based test, prompting protests and concerns over whether they would receive a fair opportunity to complete the examination.
NBEMS later announced the September 5 re-examination and expressed regret over the inconvenience caused.
Is NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam for All Candidates?
No.
The September 5 examination is not a nationwide NEET PG re-examination.
It applies only to the 2,445 candidates affected by the technical disruption at the two identified Jaipur centres.
Candidates who successfully completed the August 30 examination at other centres are not covered by this re-exam announcement.
This distinction is important because social-media posts referring simply to a “NEET PG re-exam” may incorrectly give candidates the impression that the entire examination is being conducted again.
Will Jaipur Candidates Get a New Admit Card?
NBEMS has said that venue details and other examination-related instructions will be communicated separately to the affected candidates.
Candidates should therefore monitor:
- Their registered email address
- Registered mobile number
- NBEMS candidate login
- Official NBEMS notices
Affected candidates should not rely on screenshots, forwarded messages or unofficial social-media posts for their revised exam centre.
Any fresh admit card, venue slip or reporting instruction should be downloaded only through the official communication channel specified by NBEMS.
What Should the 2,445 Affected Candidates Do Now?
Candidates scheduled for the September 5 re-exam should keep their preparation active and closely watch official updates.
They should:
- Check NBEMS notices regularly
- Monitor their registered email and mobile number
- Keep original photo identification ready
- Download any revised admit card or venue instruction immediately after release
- Check reporting time carefully
- Plan travel to Jaipur in advance
- Avoid relying on unofficial re-exam centre information
Since the examination is being held at 3:00 PM, candidates should still wait for the final NBEMS reporting-time instructions before planning their arrival.
What Happened at the Jaipur Centres?
The August 30 examination was scheduled as a computer-based test.
At the two Sitapura centres, candidates experienced technical disruption linked to internal power-supply failure.
For many candidates, computer systems could not function normally, making it impossible to complete the examination under standard conditions.
The disruption triggered protests outside the examination facility as candidates raised concerns about lost time, repeated system interruptions and the possible impact on their performance.
NBEMS subsequently decided that affected candidates would receive another opportunity rather than have their incomplete examination treated as final.
More Than 2.65 Lakh Candidates Appeared Nationwide
Despite the Jaipur disruption, NEET PG 2026 was completed for the overwhelming majority of candidates across India.
Official figures show:
- 2,73,096 candidates were scheduled
- 2,65,980 candidates appeared
- Around 2,63,535 candidates completed the examination
- 1,111 examination centres were used
- Centres were spread across 339 cities
- All 36 states and Union Territories were covered
These numbers underline why the Jaipur disruption was treated as a centre-specific problem rather than a nationwide exam failure.
What About NEET PG 2026 Result?
NBEMS has not announced through this re-exam notice that the result schedule has changed.
The immediate priority is completing the examination for the affected Jaipur candidates on September 5.
Candidates should therefore wait for a separate official result notification rather than assuming a result date based on previous years or unofficial reports.
The result process can reasonably move forward only after all affected candidates have been given the opportunity to complete the examination.
NEET PG Answer Key 2026
NEET PG candidates are also waiting for further information regarding the answer key.
NBEMS has indicated through the 2026 examination framework that answer-key related information will be made available through official channels.
Candidates should use only the NBEMS website for any answer-key notice, response process or result-related update.
Any answer key circulating unofficially before an NBEMS announcement should be treated cautiously.

NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam: Key Takeaway
For the affected Jaipur candidates, the most important information is now clear.
The NEET PG 2026 re-exam will be held on September 5 at 3:00 PM in Jaipur for 2,445 candidates affected by the August 30 disruption at Sitapura centres TC 41682 and TC 41683.
Venue details and other instructions will be communicated separately.
Candidates should continue preparing, monitor official NBEMS communication closely and avoid acting on unverified claims about revised centres, admit cards or another nationwide examination.
