The NEET PG application form 2026 registration window shuts tomorrow, 21 July 2026, by 11:55 PM, giving MBBS graduates only a few hours left to submit their forms at the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) portal, natboard.edu.in. Candidates aiming for MD, MS, PG Diploma, Post-MBBS DNB, Direct 6-year DrNB, or NBEMS Diploma seats for the 2026–27 session should complete registration well before the deadline, since the portal will lock immediately after the cut-off.
Registration: Key Dates
The application process began on 1 July 2026, and the exam itself is scheduled for 30 August 2026 in computer-based test (CBT) mode. A form correction window will open on 25 July 2026, allowing candidates to fix errors in their submitted applications. However, the correspondence address and test-state preferences cannot be altered once the final form is submitted, so applicants must double-check these fields carefully before payment.
How to Apply
Candidates can follow these steps to complete the application on the NBEMS portal:
- Visit the official website, natboard.edu.in, and click on the registration link on the homepage.
- Register using a valid mobile number and email ID to generate login credentials.
- Log in and fill in personal, academic, and correspondence details.
- Select three preferred test states, a new requirement introduced this year.
- Upload scanned documents, including the MBBS degree or provisional certificate, internship completion proof, a recent passport-size photograph, and signature, as per the specified format and size.
- Complete Aadhaar-based authentication as prompted.
- Pay the application fee online via net banking, credit card, debit card, or UPI.
- Review all entries carefully before final submission, since some details cannot be edited later.
- Submit the form and download the confirmation page for future reference.
Exam Pattern and What Comes Next
The exam will test candidates through 180 multiple-choice questions over 3.5 hours, with the question paper set only in English. Each correct answer earns 4 marks, while an incorrect response attracts a penalty of -1 mark. Once registration closes on July 21, candidates should watch for the correction window opening on July 25 and, subsequently, admit card release details closer to the August 30 exam date.
