The Story in Brief
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has opened a final image correction window for NEET PG 2026 from August 12 to August 15. Candidates whose photographs, signatures or thumb impressions were rejected can rectify them, or face application cancellation. Separately, NBEMS admitted that some candidates received incorrect test-city information via SMS due to technical issues. Correct SMS and emails have been sent, and the board urges candidates to verify their city on the official portal.
The exam is on August 30 in computer-based mode. The paper has 180 multiple-choice questions divided into five time-bound sections of 36 questions each, with 42 minutes per section. Candidates can check their status and make corrections at natboard.edu.in.
The Indian Opinion
The last-minute image correction window is a necessary fix, but candidates who missed the earlier deadline will feel the pressure. The SMS mix-up over test cities points to a recurring pattern of technical glitches in high-stakes exams. Rather than blaming the board alone, students should check the official portal religiously. The real test will come on August 30: how many applications get cancelled for non-compliance, and whether the exam server holds up.
