The NEET PG 2026 examination was conducted nationwide on August 30, 2026, but a technical disruption at two examination centres in Jaipur prevented thousands of candidates from completing the test. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has now announced a re-examination for all affected candidates.
The NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam will be conducted on September 5, 2026, at 3 PM in Jaipur. The re-examination is limited to candidates whose exam could not be completed because of the technical issue.

NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam: What Happened in Jaipur?
The NEET PG 2026 exam was conducted at 1,111 centres across 339 cities covering all 36 States and Union Territories. Of the 2,73,096 candidates scheduled to appear, 2,65,980 candidates actually appeared for the examination.
However, at the iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura centres in Jaipur, identified as TC 41682 and TC 41683, an internal power supply issue disrupted the examination. As a result, 2,445 candidates could not complete their NEET PG 2026 examination. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the disruption was attributable to the examination conducting agency, M/s TCS Ltd.
This means the NEET PG 2026 examination has not been cancelled nationwide. The re-examination applies only to the candidates affected at these two Jaipur centres.
