The NEET-PG 2026 examination was successfully conducted with extensive logistical, technological, security measures and the participation of thousands.
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) successfully carried out the NEET-PG 2026 examination on 30 August 2026 across the country. The exam was scheduled for 1,111 examination centres in 339 cities spread across 36 States and Union Territories. A total of 2,65,980 candidates appeared for the examination, with the process completed successfully for approximately 2,63,535 individuals. The nationwide examination was supported by extensive real-time monitoring and stringent security measures. To oversee the conduct of the examination, 2,527 faculty members were appointed as Independent Appraisers, while more than 700 senior faculty members, including Deans, Directors, Medical Superintendents, and senior professors, served as Flying Squad members. To strengthen coordination and monitoring, 16 NBEMS Regional Command Centres were operational across the country. The examination centres were under live CCTV surveillance, which was continuously monitored from the NBEMS Command Centre at its Headquarters in Dwarka. A dedicated team of 190 personnel from NBEMS and TCS was deployed for real-time surveillance and monitoring. At the dedicated Command Centre at NBEMS Headquarters, officials from NBEMS, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, BEL, ECIL, and TCS maintained close and continuous oversight of the examination process throughout the day. As part of measures to further strengthen examination security and prevent impersonation, Aadhaar-based authentication of candidates was successfully undertaken at examination centres. However, an unforeseen technical disruption occurred at iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura Centres in Jaipur, Rajasthan (TC Nos. 41682 and 41683), where the examination could not be completed for 2,445 candidates due to internal power supply issues at the test centres, attributable to M/s TCS Ltd., the examination conducting agency. To ensure a fair opportunity for these affected candidates, an additional examination will be conducted on 05 September 2026 in Jaipur.
