The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has moved NEET PG 2026 into its final pre-examination stage, with candidates receiving their test city intimation and certain applicants being given a final opportunity to correct deficient images uploaded with their applications.
The developments are important for candidates preparing to appear for the NEET PG 2026 examination on August 30. The city intimation allows candidates to plan their travel in advance, while the image correction facility is particularly important for applicants whose photograph, signature or thumb impression does not meet NBEMS requirements.
NBEMS scheduled the test city intimation for August 11, 2026, allowing candidates to know the city in which their examination centre has been allotted.
Candidates should remember that the city intimation is not the NEET PG admit card.
The city information is primarily provided so that candidates can make necessary travel and accommodation arrangements ahead of the examination. The detailed examination-centre information and exam-day instructions will be available through the admit card.
Candidates should access their NEET PG applicant account through the official NBEMS portal and check the city information communicated for the examination.
The general process includes:
Candidates travelling to another city should consider making arrangements early rather than waiting for the admit card.
Alongside the city-intimation process, NBEMS has provided another opportunity for candidates whose application contains deficient or incorrect images.
Earlier, NBEMS had scheduled a selective edit window between July 31 and August 10 for candidates who needed to correct uploaded documents such as their:
The latest final correction opportunity is especially important for candidates who have been specifically identified by NBEMS as having image-related deficiencies.
Candidates should check their applicant login and official NBEMS communication carefully to determine whether any correction is required.
Uploaded images form an important part of candidate identification during the examination process.
NBEMS requires photographs, signatures and thumb impressions to comply with prescribed specifications. Issues such as unclear photographs, incorrect dimensions, poor-quality signatures or improperly uploaded thumb impressions can create problems during application verification.
NBEMS had previously warned candidates that errors or discrepancies in applications could affect candidature.
Candidates who have been given a correction opportunity should therefore treat it as a priority and ensure that the replacement image fully complies with the specifications provided by the examination authority.
After the city-intimation and correction stages are completed, candidates should prepare for the release of the NEET PG 2026 admit card on August 27.
The admit card will be the primary document candidates need for appearing in the examination.
Once available, candidates should check important details including:
Any discrepancy should be addressed according to the procedure prescribed by NBEMS.
Candidates should clearly understand the difference between the two.
City Intimation:
Provides advance information about the city allotted for the examination so candidates can plan travel and accommodation.
Admit Card:
Contains detailed candidate-specific examination information and is required for entry to the examination centre.
Therefore, candidates should not treat the city-intimation information as their hall ticket.

NBEMS has scheduled NEET PG 2026 for August 30, with results expected to be declared by September 30, 2026.
NEET PG 2026 will be conducted as a computer-based examination on August 30 at designated examination centres across the country.
The examination is the key entrance route for admission to eligible postgraduate medical programmes, including MD and MS courses, subject to the applicable counselling and admission framework.
With only a short period remaining before the examination, candidates should now focus on final revision while simultaneously ensuring that their application documents and travel arrangements are complete.
Candidates should immediately check their allotted examination city and determine whether NBEMS has flagged any deficiency in their uploaded images.
Those requiring correction should complete it within the prescribed opportunity rather than waiting until the deadline.
