The NEET PG is an eligibility-cum-ranking examination prescribed as the single entrance exam for admission to various MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses. NEET applicants must note that the exam body announced various reforms earlier this month. As per the new rules, candidates were given an expanded choice of test locations, requiring them to select three state preferences, with the correspondence state as the mandatory first preference, facilitating allotment of centres closer to their place of residence.
The medical body had stated that NEET PG 2026 test city intimation will be issued nearly three weeks before the examination, enabling candidates to plan their travel and accommodation well in advance.
As per the newly introduced reforms, the NEET Postgraduate exam has been rationalised to 180 questions to be answered in 210 minutes, providing candidates with more time per question while maintaining the overall examination duration.
