NEET PG 2026 re-exam challenged in Supreme Court
New Delhi: The recent decision of the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) to hold a NEET PG 2026 re-examination for 2,445 students, who were not able to complete the test due to technical disruption, has now been challenged before the Supreme Court.
A plea was filed in this regard before the Supreme Court on Wednesday before the bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana.
The lawyer argued that a re-examination is in violation of an earlier order passed by the top court and an urgent hearing of the matter was sought.
However, according to a PTI report, the bench directed the lawyer to approach the designated bench.
"All NEET matters are before the designated bench led by Justice Narasimha. Go and mention it before that bench. Several developments take place in these matters," said the bench.
The NEET PG 2026 examination was conducted for 2,73,096 registered candidates on 30.08.2026, in which 2,65,980 candidates appeared at 1111 centres across the country. The examination was completed for around 2,63,535 candidates.
However, at iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura centres (TC no. 41682 & 41683), Jaipur, Rajasthan, the examination could not be completed due to internal power failure issues at the centre, attributed to M/s TCS Ltd., the exam conducting agency.
NBEMS is set to conduct the NEET PG 2026 re-exam for 2,445 candidates affected by technical disruption. Announcing its decision to conduct a re-exam for the affected candidates, NBE on Tuesday announced that the re-exam shall be conducted on 05 September 2026 (Saturday) at Jaipur from 03:00 PM to 06:30 PM.
It was also announced by NBEMS that the revised Admit Cards mentioning the exam venue of the examination would be made available to the concerned candidates on 03 September 2026. Candidates have been advised to log in to their NEET-PG 2026 application portal using their registered login credentials to download their revised admit cards for NEET-PG 2026.
