NEET PG 2026: Jaipur Re-Exam Concludes, Answer Key & Result Awaited at natboard.edu.in

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) successfully conducted the NEET PG 2026 re-examination for 2,445 affected candidates in Jaipur on September 5, 2026, at 3 PM. Medical aspirants nationwide are now awaiting the release of the answer key and the final result, which is expected by September 30, 2026, on the official website, natboard.edu.in.

This re-examination was necessitated by a technical disruption caused by an internal power supply failure at two centres in Jaipur’s Sitapura area during the original NEET PG 2026 examination on August 30, 2026. The incident impacted quite a few candidates, leading to swift action by the NBEMS to ensure fairness and continuity in the examination process.
