NEET-PG 2026 Results Released Amid Scorecard Timing Confusion
The NEET-PG 2026 results have been announced for students seeking postgraduate medical seats.
The main exam took place on August 30.
Some students in Jaipur had technical problems, so they took another exam on September 5.
Students can check their rank on the official NBEMS websites.
Different reports give slightly different numbers for how many students took the main and replacement exams.
Students needed different minimum scores depending on their category.
The answer key is expected on or after October 1.
Reports also differ about whether scorecards were released on September 24 or will become available from October 1.
State authorities will later prepare merit lists for state-quota seats.
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences declared the NEET-PG 2026 results on September 24.
Candidates can check results and ranks through NBEMS websites, including natboard.edu.in, nbe.edu.in and cdn3.digialm.com.
The examination was held on August 30, while an additional examination was conducted in Jaipur on September 5 after technical problems.
Qualifying cut-offs were 262 for General/EWS, 244 for General PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC candidates, including PwBD candidates.
The answer key is scheduled for release on or after October 1, although reports differ on whether individual scorecards were already available or would be released from that date.
