The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has officially rescheduled the NEET PG 2026 examination for candidates assigned to a specific testing venue in Rajasthan. The decision follows an unexpected disruption at the iON Digital Zone in Sitapura, Jaipur, where technical difficulties rendered the continuation of the examination impossible for those in attendance.

According to official reports, the disruption was primarily caused by sudden power outages that impacted the computer systems at the centre. These logistical challenges, compounded by subsequent server issues, forced the board to halt the testing process for the affected candidates. While the examination proceeded as scheduled at all other locations nationwide, concluding at 12:30 PM, students at the Jaipur venue were unable to complete their assessments.

Revised Examination Schedule and Next Steps

In response to the incident, the NBEMS has confirmed that a new examination date has been set for the affected students. Those who were scheduled to appear at the iON Digital Zone in Sitapura, Jaipur, will now sit for the NEET PG 2026 exam on September 5. This adjustment ensures that all candidates are provided with a fair opportunity to complete their testing under stable conditions.

The board has indicated that further instructions regarding the rescheduled date will be provided to the affected candidates. This includes the issuance of revised admit cards and updated guidelines to facilitate the testing process. Candidates are advised to monitor official communications from the NBEMS to ensure they remain informed about the necessary procedures for the upcoming September 5 session. No changes have been announced for any other examination centres across the country, and the status of the exam remains unaffected elsewhere.
