The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced a re-examination for NEET-PG 2026 candidates whose test was disrupted by power supply problems at two centres in Jaipur.
The re-examination will be held on September 5 at 3 pm in Jaipur. NBEMS said details of the venue would be communicated separately, and revised admit cards would be issued to the affected candidates.
What Happened at the Jaipur NEET-PG Centres
The two affected centres, numbered 41,682 and 41,683, were located at the iON Digital Zone iDZ in the Sitapura area of Jaipur. According to NBEMS, candidates could not complete the examination because of "internal power supply issues at the centres."
Candidates at these centres reported repeated disruptions during the test, which prevented them from finishing the exam under normal conditions.
NBEMS Apology and Next Steps for Affected Candidates
In an official statement, the examination body said, "NBEMS apologises to the affected candidates for the inconvenience caused."

Affected candidates should watch for separate communication about the venue for the re-exam. Revised admit cards will be issued, so candidates must check their registered contact details and official NBEMS channels for updates.
Our Take: Fair Move, But Communication Must Be Clear
To put it plainly, this is the right call from NBEMS. When a national-level exam is disrupted by technical failures — especially something as basic as power supply — candidates should not be made to suffer. A re-exam ensures fairness for those who were affected through no fault of their own.
However, the key now is execution. Candidates need clear, timely information about the venue and admit cards. Any delay or confusion will only add to the stress of an already difficult situation. We hope NBEMS keeps its promise and communicates every detail well in advance of September 5.
