NEET PG 2026: Registration Last Date, Exam Date and How to Apply

NEET PG 2026 Key Dates

How to Apply for NEET PG 2026

• Register on the official NBE portal (neet.nbe.edu.in) with a valid email and mobile number

• Fill in your MBBS degree and internship details, including your NMC/state medical council registration number

• Upload the required documents — MBBS provisional/degree certificate, internship completion or expected-completion certificate, category certificate if applicable, and a recent photograph

• Pay the application fee online — the exact amount is set fresh each year in NBE's official information bulletin, so check the current fee there rather than relying on a previous year's figure

• Download and save your confirmation page once payment is successful

Eligibility

You need an MBBS degree from an NMC-recognised medical college, along with either a completed compulsory rotating internship or one that will be completed by the cutoff date NBE sets for that year's exam. NBE publishes the exact internship-completion cutoff and any category-specific relaxations in the official information bulletin released alongside the registration window — always verify your own eligibility there rather than assuming last year's rule still applies.

Exam Pattern

Why NEET PG Matters More Than Ever This Year

Roughly 2.5 lakh candidates appear for NEET PG each year, competing for approximately 50,000–65,000 combined MD, MS and PG-Diploma seats nationally. For NE India MBBS graduates specifically, regional PG capacity has grown meaningfully: GMCH Guwahati and RIMS Imphal run MD/MS programmes across major clinical departments, and NEIGRIHMS Shillong — a premier central institution — offers MD, MS and super-speciality seats across nearly 30 departments. Completing MBBS in NE India and pursuing PG in the same region is now a genuinely viable, increasingly competitive pathway, which makes early, structured preparation more important than ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does NEET PG 2026 registration close?

NEET PG 2026 online application closes on 21 July 2026. Always confirm the live date on neet.nbe.edu.in, as NBE occasionally extends registration windows.

When is the NEET PG 2026 exam?

NEET PG 2026 is scheduled for 30 August 2026, conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) as a computer-based test.

Can MBBS graduates from North-East India apply for NEET PG 2026 the same way as everyone else?

Yes. NEET PG registration and the exam itself are identical nationwide — there is no separate regional process at the registration stage. What differs afterwards is PG counselling: AIQ PG seats are allotted by MCC, while state PG quota (where available) is allotted by each state's DME, so NE India-specific decisions come into play at the counselling stage, not the registration stage.

Is there a free NEET PG 2026 mock test?

Yes. NEET Mentor Hub offers a free NEET PG mock test built from real previous-year questions with the official +4/−1 marking — your first attempt is free with a registered account.
