NBEMS has not yet announced the official date for the NEET PG 2026 answer key or result. The qualifying cut-off percentile for each category will be released along with the result.

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) is expected to announce the NEET PG 2026 result and answer key soon. As per the examination schedule, the result is expected to be declared by September 30, 2026. However, NBEMS has not yet confirmed the exact date of the result announcement. The qualifying cut-off percentiles for different categories will also be released along with the result. The NEET PG 2026 examination was conducted across the country on August 30. However, a technical disruption at two examination centres in Jaipur led to more than 2,000 candidates being asked to appear for a re-examination. At two centres in Sitapura, Jaipur, a power outage caused computer systems to shut down during the exam, affecting 2,445 candidates. Following the disruption, NBEMS conducted a re-examination for the affected candidates on September 5. The re-examination was completed without any reported technical issues. More than 2.65 lakh candidates are now waiting for the NEET PG 2026 answer key and result. The September 30 deadline for the result also coincides with the last date for completion of the mandatory MBBS internship for candidates seeking eligibility for NEET PG 2026, as specified under the applicable medical education regulations.
