Why a Re-Exam Was Held
NBEMS conducted a re-test for candidates at the Sitapura centres in Jaipur who could not complete NEET PG 2026 due to an internal power failure during the original exam. This re-examination was held on September 5, after which the board moved to finalise the answer key release.
Why This Matters
The release of a provisional answer key gives NEET PG candidates a formal window to review their responses and, if needed, raise objections before final results are declared — a transparency measure now mandated following the Supreme Court’s intervention. Candidates are advised to keep checking the NBEMS portal regularly, as the exact release date has not yet been announced.
