Over 2.73 Lakh Appear for NEET PG 2026
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) (NEET) PG 2026 examination commenced on Sunday, with over 2.73 lakh medical graduates appearing for the postgraduate medical entrance examination at designated centres across the country.
The examination is being conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) in computer-based mode in a single shift from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Candidates were seen arriving at examination centres in several cities, including Chennai, Kanchipuram and Agra in Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh, respectively, as well as at Mohan Estate in Delhi.
Candidate Reactions
Speaking about the examination, Agra candidate Chayaa said she was feeling nervous before the test. "I'm feeling a bit nervous about it right now, but let's see how it goes," she said. Another candidate, Kirti, said she had prepared for the examination through coaching and by revising her MBBS study material. "We've finished our MBBS, and now we have to take the PG exam. I've taken coaching for it, and I'm also reviewing the material from my MBBS days," she said.
The NEET PG is conducted for admission to postgraduate medical courses across the country.
Shadow of NEET UG 2026 Controversy
Meanwhile, the NEET PG examination comes months after the NEET UG 2026 examination, which was conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on May 3 in pen-and-paper mode. The exam was later cancelled following allegations of a paper leak, with the NTA announcing a re-examination for affected candidates.
The NEET UG re-examination was subsequently conducted on June 21. Around 22.79 lakh candidates had registered for NEET UG 2026, which was conducted across examination centres in India and abroad. The cancellation and re-examination followed an investigation into alleged irregularities and paper-leak claims linked to the May 3 examination. (ANI)
