NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam Set for 2,445 Jaipur Candidates
A problem happened during the NEET PG exam at two centres in Jaipur.
The problem was an internal power failure.
Because of this, 2,445 students could not properly finish their tests.
The exam board, NBEMS, will give these students another test.
The new test will take place on September 5, 2026, at 3 PM in Jaipur.
The board has not yet shared all the re-examination details.
Exam rules say that timers should stop during some technical problems so students do not lose time.
Some students have also asked for the exam to be cancelled across the country, but the announced re-exam is only for the affected Jaipur candidates.
NBEMS will conduct a NEET PG 2026 re-examination for 2,445 affected candidates.
The re-examination is scheduled for September 5, 2026, at 3 PM in Jaipur.
The disruption occurred at iON Digital Zone IDZ Sitapura centres 41682 and 41683.
