Jaipur (Rajeev Sharma): The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced a fresh examination for candidates whose NEET-PG 2026 test was disrupted at the iON Digital Zone iDZ centre in Sitapura, Jaipur, following a power failure.
The affected candidates will now appear for the examination on September 5, 2026, at 3 pm in Jaipur, according to an official notice issued by NBEMS.
Two Sitapura centres affected
The disruption occurred at Test Centres 41682 and 41683 at the iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura facility.
NBEMS said the examination could not be completed at the centres because of an internal power failure issue attributed to the examination conducting agency.
The board has decided to conduct a re-examination for all candidates who were unable to complete the test because of the technical problem.
Over 2.6 lakh candidates took the exam
NEET-PG 2026 was conducted across the country on August 30. As per NBEMS, 2,73,096 candidates were registered, while 2,65,980 candidates appeared for the examination at 1,111 centres.
The examination was completed for approximately 2,63,535 candidates.
The technical failure at the Jaipur venue, however, prevented the affected candidates from completing the examination as scheduled.
Fresh admit cards to be issued
NBEMS said the candidates affected by the disruption would be given a separate opportunity to take the examination.
Revised admit cards will be issued separately, while details of the examination venue will be communicated to the concerned candidates.
The decision provides relief to students who were left unable to complete the high-stakes postgraduate medical entrance examination because of the technical issue.
Candidates affected by the Sitapura disruption are now required to follow the instructions issued by NBEMS and appear for the re-examination on September 5.
