JAIPUR, India | August 30, 2026 —
NEET PG 2026 faced a major disruption at an examination centre in Jaipur on Sunday after repeated server problems reportedly interrupted the computer-based test, prompting several candidates to come out of the examination hall and stage a protest.
The disruption was reported at a Digital Zone examination centre in Jaipur’s Sitapura area, where more than 250 candidates were appearing for the postgraduate medical entrance examination.
According to information emerging from the examination centre, the server was disrupted three times within roughly an hour, raising concerns among candidates that the technical failures could affect their examination time and performance.
Police and administrative officials later reached the centre, spoke to the protesting candidates and helped restore order. Candidates subsequently returned to the examination process.
Server Problems Trigger Anxiety During NEET PG 2026
NEET PG is one of India’s most competitive medical entrance examinations, making any technical disruption particularly sensitive for candidates.
The Jaipur incident reportedly began after the server experienced repeated problems during the examination.
Candidates became increasingly concerned as the disruption recurred. Some eventually left the examination hall and expressed their frustration outside the centre.
Their principal concern was that repeated interruptions during a high-stakes national examination could affect concentration, effective examination time and overall performance.
Candidates argued that technical infrastructure at a national-level entrance examination should remain stable throughout the test.
Candidates Protest Outside Jaipur Examination Centre
As frustration grew, several candidates came out of the examination hall and protested over the technical problems.
The situation briefly became tense before police and local administration officials arrived at the centre.
Officials spoke to the candidates and sought to reassure them about the examination process. Following the intervention, candidates returned and resumed the test.
No major law-and-order incident was reported at the centre.
More Than 250 Candidates Reportedly Appearing at Centre
More than 250 NEET PG candidates were reportedly scheduled to take the examination at the Sitapura Digital Zone centre.
The repeated disruption therefore affected a significant number of aspirants at the location, although the precise impact on individual candidates is not yet officially known.
It also remains important to distinguish this centre-specific incident from any wider technical problem.
At the time of publication, NBEMS had not issued a public notice indicating a nationwide server disruption or a centre-specific decision regarding the Jaipur incident.
Candidates should therefore avoid assuming that the Jaipur problem affected NEET PG centres across India unless NBEMS issues an official clarification.
NEET PG 2026 Was Scheduled From 9 AM to 12:30 PM
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences scheduled NEET PG 2026 for Sunday, August 30, in a single computer-based examination shift.
The scheduled examination window was from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
NBEMS had also issued a test-day advisory for candidates on August 29 ahead of the examination.
The Jaipur disruption becomes particularly significant because candidates appearing in computer-based tests depend entirely on functioning systems, networks and examination-centre infrastructure.
Will Affected Jaipur Candidates Get Extra Time or Relief?
This is now the biggest question arising from the incident.
There is currently no verified public announcement from NBEMS confirming whether candidates affected by the reported server interruptions at the Jaipur centre will receive additional time, a special review, re-examination or any other relief.
Candidates should wait for an official NBEMS communication rather than relying on social-media claims.
Any decision regarding examination time, technical-loss compensation or further action would have to come from the competent examination authority.
What Candidates Should Do Now
Candidates who faced a technical disruption should preserve any examination-centre information available to them, including their admit card and centre details.
They should also monitor the official NBEMS website and NEET PG section for any clarification relating to the examination.
If NBEMS issues a formal notice concerning the Jaipur centre, this report will require a substantial update with the authority’s response.
