The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences has extended the thesis submission deadline for candidates of the DNB Final Theory Examination December 2026 session to October 10, 2026, 11:55 PM. The earlier deadline was September 28.

The NBEMS said it received requests from trainees who could not submit due to multiple reasons. The board has warned that no further extension will be given, and candidates who miss the October 10 cut-off will be declared ineligible for the December 2026 exam.
The one-day extension, from September 28 to October 10, will help DNB trainees who faced unspecified delays, but it comes with a hard stop: anyone missing the new 11:55 PM deadline on October 10 will be barred from the December 2026 theory exam. The NBEMS has explicitly ruled out any further extensions. Whether this proves enough time for those still struggling will be known after the cut-off passes.
