NEET PG 2026: Re-examination Scheduled Following Technical Glitch; Answer Key Expected Soon
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has set a path forward for thousands of candidates following the conclusion of the NEET PG 2026 examination, which took place on August 30. While the exam proceeded smoothly across the majority of test centers nationwide, a significant technical disruption has necessitated a re-examination for a specific cohort of students.
Re-examination Details
The disruption occurred at the Sikarpura examination center, where a sudden power outage rendered the digital testing infrastructure inoperable, preventing candidates from completing the exam as scheduled. Recognizing the inconvenience caused, the NBEMS has announced that 2,445 affected candidates will be required to sit for a re-examination. This follow-up test is officially scheduled for September 5 at 3:00 PM.
Answer Key and Result Timeline
With the primary phase of the examination now concluded, the focus for aspirants has shifted toward the release of the answer keys, response sheets, and final scorecards.
Although the NBEMS has yet to issue an official calendar for the release of these documents, industry experts and historical data from previous years suggest that the NEET PG 2026 answer key is likely to be made available to candidates during the second week of September. Students are encouraged to monitor the official NBEMS website regularly for real-time updates.
