The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced a NEET PG 2026 re-exam for 2,445 candidates whose test was disrupted by a power failure at two Jaipur centres. The affected candidates were unable to complete the examination on August 30, 2026, at the iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura centres (Test Centre Nos. 41682 and 41683). NBEMS has confirmed the re-examination will be held on September 5, 2026, at 3:00 PM in Jaipur. This re-exam applies only to the affected candidates, not to the entire NEET PG 2026 candidate pool, and further venue and admit card details will be shared separately by NBEMS.

NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam - Latest Update

According to the official NBEMS notice, the disruption was caused by an internal power supply failure at the Sitapura centres, attributed to the examination conducting agency, M/s TCS Ltd. NBEMS has also constituted a three-member committee, chaired by Rajasthan's Principal Secretary (Medical, Health and Family Welfare), Gayatri Rathore, to investigate the incident.

Why Is NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam Being Conducted?

NEET PG 2026 was conducted nationwide on August 30, 2026. During the examination, a technical and internal power supply disruption struck the two Sitapura centres in Jaipur, preventing the affected candidates from completing the computer-based test normally. Following this, NBEMS announced a re-examination exclusively for the candidates impacted by the disruption. The explanation provided by NBEMS is limited to an internal power failure at the specific centres and does not extend to any other city or centre.

NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam Date and Time

The re-examination is scheduled for September 5, 2026, at 3:00 PM. Only candidates identified by NBEMS as affected by the Jaipur disruption need to appear again; all other NEET PG 2026 candidates who completed their exam successfully on August 30 do not need to retake the test.

NEET PG 2026 Jaipur Centres - What Happened?

The disruption occurred at the iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura, Jaipur, specifically at Test Centre Nos. 41682 and 41683. NBEMS said the issue stemmed from an internal power supply failure at these centres, which interrupted the computer-based test for candidates seated there. A mock test conducted at the same centre a day earlier, under similar computer load, had reportedly gone through without issues, which is why NBEMS has flagged the disruption for further investigation rather than treating it as a routine technical glitch.

NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam for 2,445 Candidates

  • Number of affected candidates: 2,445
  • Why they must appear again: Their examination could not be completed due to the power failure at the Sitapura centres
  • Do other candidates need to retest: No, this applies only to the 2,445 identified candidates
  • What to monitor: Official communication from NBEMS regarding the exact venue, admit card, and reporting instructions for September 5

It should be clearly noted: the September 5 re-examination is not for all NEET PG 2026 candidates. It is strictly limited to those affected by the disruption at the Jaipur centres, as identified by NBEMS.
