What remains disputed or unverified

No disputed central claims are recorded for this story.

The National Board of Examinations for Medical and Allied Sciences (NBEMS) confirmed that the NEET PG test scheduled for the Jaipur centre was cancelled after a sudden power outage brought the examination system offline. A subsequent re‑exam will be held on 5 September 2026 for all candidates who had attempted the paper there.[1]

Power Outage Causes Delay

At approximately 9:30 a.m. local time, an unexpected power failure began at the Sitapura centre near Jaipur. The loss of electricity stopped the monitoring servers and consequently the exam could not proceed. The paper that had been intended for the seat could not be delivered to candidates.[1]

Candidates Protest

Candidates in the affected centre expressed anger over the abrupt cancellation. In the hours following the outage, several candidates staged a small protest outside the centre, demanding a fair opportunity to sit the exam at a later date.[2]

NBEMS Announces Re‑Exam

NBEMS ordered a rescheduling of the cancelled paper for 5 September 2026. The board has assured all candidates that the same exam content will be provided, and the new date will apply to everyone who had been registered at Jaipur.[4]

Exam Rescheduled

Official statements from NBEMS and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare reiterate that the NEET PG exam at Jaipur will take place on 5 September 2026, resolving the interruption caused by the power failure.[5]
