⚠️ NBEMS Issues Important Advisory for NEET PG 2026 Candidates

Along with the exam schedule, NBEMS has released a detailed advisory highlighting several important changes and instructions. Here are the key points every candidate must know.

1️⃣ Test City Will NOT Be Allotted on First-Come-First-Serve Basis

Unlike previous assumptions, early application submission does not guarantee your preferred test city or exam centre.

Candidates should complete the application carefully instead of rushing to submit it.

2️⃣ Three Preferred Test States Must Be Selected

Applicants must choose three preferred Test States.

• First preference must be the Correspondence State mentioned in the application.
• Remaining two preferences should be neighbouring states.

3️⃣ Correspondence Address Cannot Be Changed Later

Candidates must provide a valid correspondence address supported by acceptable proof.

Important: Once the application is submitted, the correspondence address and preferred test states cannot be edited, even during the correction window.

4️⃣ NBEMS May Allot Any Test Centre

Although NBEMS will try to allot the preferred city, it reserves the right to assign any examination centre in India due to administrative, security, technical or logistical reasons.

5️⃣ Upload Recent Photograph Carefully

Candidates must upload:

• 📷 Photograph taken within the last three months
• ✍️ Signature
• Other required images as per official specifications

Blurred, edited, morphed or incorrect images may lead to rejection of the application or non-issuance of the admit card.

6️⃣ Double-Check Every Detail Before Final Submission

NBEMS will not modify application details after final submission.

Candidates should carefully verify:

• Category
• Date of Birth
• PwBD status
• Mobile number
• Email ID
• Qualification details
• Other personal information

These details may also be used during the counselling process.

7️⃣ Provide Only Genuine Information

Submission of incorrect information or fake documents may result in:

• ❌ Cancellation of candidature
• ❌ Disqualification
• ❌ Legal action

8️⃣ Keep Your Mobile Number & Email Active

Candidates should ensure their:

• 📧 Registered Email ID
• 📱 Mobile Number

remain active throughout the examination and counselling process.

Important updates will be shared through official communication channels.

9️⃣ Never Share Your Login Credentials

NBEMS has warned candidates not to share:

• Application Number
• Password
• Aadhaar details
• Mobile number
• Email ID
• Qualification details

Sharing these details may expose candidates to fraudsters claiming to offer admission assistance or marks enhancement.

🔟 Aadhaar Authentication Introduced

NBEMS has introduced Aadhaar-based authentication for NEET PG 2026.

Candidates should:

• Unlock Aadhaar before reaching the exam centre.
• Avoid applying henna, ink, paint or colour on fingers and palms, as it may interfere with biometric verification.

If Aadhaar authentication fails, NBEMS may use IRIS-based verification.

1️⃣1️⃣ Reach the Exam Centre Early

Candidates should report well before the reporting time to complete:

• Identity verification
• Biometric verification
• Security checks
• Authentication procedures

1️⃣2️⃣ Keep the Entire Exam Day Free

NBEMS has advised candidates not to schedule onward travel immediately after the examination.

Security and verification procedures may take longer than expected.

1️⃣3️⃣ Check Your Email Regularly

Candidates should frequently check:

• Inbox
• Spam folder
• Junk folder
• Promotions folder

Ensure mailbox storage is available and emails from NBEMS are not blocked.

1️⃣4️⃣ Strict Action Against Malpractice

NBEMS has warned candidates against:

• Impersonation
• Cheating
• Unfair means
• Examination malpractice

Violations may lead to cancellation of candidature, debarment and legal proceedings.

Candidates should avoid relying on rumours or unofficial social media posts.

For authentic updates, follow only official NBEMS communication channels, including its website, registered email communications and official WhatsApp Channel.
