    Power Outage at Jaipur Centres

    Internal power failure at the iON Digital Zone – Sitapura centres in Jaipur halted the NEET PG 2026 examination for candidates assigned to TC Nos. 41682 and 41683.[4]

    The fault prevented the exam software from initializing, leaving the paper unfinished and the candidates unable to proceed.[4]

    Candidate Protests and Disruption

    Recurrent computer shutdowns—every ten minutes—compounded the disruption, as questions and data were lost during the brief outages.[7]

    On the day of the exam, at least three server failures within an hour frustrated candidates, who staged protests inside the examination hall demanding fair treatment.[4][7]

    Amid the chaos, candidates voiced their anger and called for justice after the test was abruptly halted.[7]

    Re‑Exam Schedule and Logistics

    The re‑exam will be held on Saturday, September 5, 2026, commencing at 3 PM in the same Sitapura venues used for the original attempt.[4][6]

    Candidates who were unable to complete their NEET PG 2026 paper will receive revised admit cards and a separate notice with the venue details beforehand.[6]

    NBEMS Response and Next Steps

    The board expressed regret for the inconvenience caused and assured candidates that the re‑exam would address the incomplete assessments.[4]

    Candidates affected by the disruption were advised to await official communication from NBEMS regarding the re‑exam arrangements and to prepare for the rescheduled test.[4][6]
