The NEET-PG 2026 examination scheduled at the Jaipur test centre has been moved to a new date following an unexpected power outage that disrupted the original exam session. This rescheduling affects all candidates who were assigned to take the test at that location. If you were scheduled to appear at the Jaipur centre, it is essential to understand the new timeline and what steps you should take to ensure you do not miss the rescheduled exam. Such disruptions, while rare, underscore the importance of staying alert to official communications from the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS).
If you were assigned to the Jaipur NEET-PG 2026 centre, your exam has been rescheduled to September 5; verify your new admit card and exam details immediately on the official NBEMS portal.

A power outage at the Jaipur test centre led to the disruption of the NEET-PG 2026 examination that was originally scheduled to take place there. Power failures during high-stakes medical entrance exams are serious operational issues because they can compromise the integrity of the test, affect candidate safety, and create logistical chaos in a controlled examination environment.
Rather than attempt to continue the exam under compromised conditions, the examination authority decided to reschedule all candidates from that centre to a new date. This decision prioritises fairness to all test-takers and ensures that no candidate is disadvantaged by infrastructure failure beyond their control.
New exam date for Jaipur candidates
The rescheduled NEET-PG 2026 examination for the Jaipur centre has been set for September 5. All candidates who were originally assigned to the Jaipur centre must now appear on this new date instead of their original scheduled date.
It is crucial that you do not assume your exam details remain unchanged. Even though you are still taking the same exam (NEET-PG 2026), the new date may affect your preparation timeline, travel arrangements, and personal schedule. You must treat this as a formal change to your exam plan.

How to confirm your new exam details
The official source of truth for your exam details is your updated admit card, which will be available on the NBEMS portal. Do not rely on email notifications, WhatsApp messages, or third-party websites. Log in to your NBEMS account using your registered credentials and download your new admit card as soon as it is made available.
Your new admit card will contain your exam date (September 5), exam centre location, reporting time, and other essential information. Cross-check every detail carefully. If you notice any discrepancy—such as a wrong centre, incorrect roll number, or missing information—contact NBEMS support immediately through the official helpline or email provided on their website.

What this means for your preparation timeline
If the rescheduled date falls later than your original exam date, you have gained additional preparation time. Use this window wisely to strengthen weak areas, revise high-yield topics, and take full-length mock tests. However, do not fall into the trap of endless revision; at some point, you must consolidate your learning and build confidence.
If the new date is sooner than expected or conflicts with your planned study schedule, reassess your preparation strategy immediately. Prioritise high-weightage topics and focus on accuracy over attempting every question. Ensure you are well-rested in the days leading up to the exam.
Travel and logistical planning for the new date
Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
With a new exam date confirmed, you must revisit your travel arrangements if you are appearing from outside Jaipur. Book your transport (train, flight, or bus) well in advance to avoid last-minute price hikes and unavailability. If you are staying with relatives or in a hostel, inform them of the new date and confirm your accommodation.
Plan to reach your exam centre at least one day before the exam. This gives you time to locate the centre, understand the local geography, and arrive early on exam day without rushing. Rushing on exam day increases stress and can lead to mistakes even before the exam begins.
Stay alert to further official updates
While the new date has been announced, it is possible that NBEMS may issue additional instructions, guidelines, or clarifications as the exam date approaches. Check the official NBEMS website and your registered email address regularly for any new notices.
Do not spread unverified information or rely on rumours from social media groups or forums. If you see conflicting information, always cross-check with the official NBEMS portal or contact their support team directly. Misinformation can lead to confusion and costly mistakes.
Why exam centre disruptions happen and how to prepare
Power outages, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events can disrupt any large-scale examination. While NBEMS and test centres take precautions (backup generators, contingency plans), no system is foolproof. The key is to remain calm and follow official instructions when disruptions occur.
As a candidate, you cannot control infrastructure failures, but you can control your response. Stay informed, verify information from official sources, and adapt your preparation to the new timeline. This resilience and flexibility are qualities that will serve you well not only in your exam but also in your medical career.

I was scheduled to take NEET-PG 2026 at the Jaipur centre. What is my new exam date?
Your exam has been rescheduled to September 5. You must download your updated admit card from the NBEMS portal to confirm all details, including your exact exam centre location and reporting time.
How do I know if I was affected by the Jaipur centre power outage?
Check your original admit card to see if your assigned exam centre was Jaipur. If yes, you are affected and must appear on the new date (September 5). If your centre was elsewhere, your exam date remains unchanged.
Will my exam syllabus or question pattern change because of the rescheduling?
No. The NEET-PG 2026 exam syllabus, question pattern, duration, and marking scheme remain the same. Only the date and possibly the centre location have changed. Your preparation strategy should remain focused on the standard NEET-PG curriculum.
What if I cannot appear on September 5 due to a genuine emergency?
Contact NBEMS support immediately through the official helpline or email. Explain your situation with supporting documents. NBEMS may consider your request on a case-by-case basis, but there is no guarantee of an alternative date. It is best to plan to appear on the rescheduled date.
Will there be any change to the counselling schedule or PG seat allocation because of this exam rescheduling?
The rescheduling of one exam centre should not affect the overall NEET-PG 2026 counselling timeline or seat allocation process. However, if the new exam date causes a significant delay in result declaration, NBEMS may adjust the counselling schedule accordingly. Monitor official announcements for any updates.
How should I adjust my preparation if the new exam date is sooner than I expected?
Focus on high-yield topics and areas where you are already strong. Avoid starting new topics; instead, consolidate what you have already studied. Take mock tests to identify remaining weak areas and target them specifically. Prioritise accuracy over attempting every question.
Where can I find the official announcement about the Jaipur centre rescheduling?
Visit the official NBEMS website (www.natboard.edu.in) and check the 'Notices' or 'Announcements' section. You can also log in to your NBEMS account to see updates related to your exam. Do not rely on unofficial sources or social media.
If I have already booked travel for my original exam date, can I get a refund?
Refund policies depend on your booking terms and the service provider (airline, railway, hotel, etc.). Contact them directly and explain the situation. Some may offer rebooking or partial refunds, but NBEMS is not responsible for your travel expenses. Plan your new travel as soon as the rescheduled date is confirmed.
If you were assigned to the Jaipur NEET-PG 2026 centre, download your updated admit card immediately and verify all details on the NBEMS portal. Adjust your preparation and travel plans for September 5, and stay alert to any further official updates. Remember: disruptions are rare, but staying calm and informed is your best response.
