NEET-PG 2026 gets major overhaul: Centres closer to home, single-shift exam, fewer questions with no change in test duration

NEET-PG 2026 candidates select three preferred states for exam centres, with home state as mandatory first preference.

Question count reduced from 200 to 180, while total duration stays 210 minutes, giving more time per question.

NBEMS will inform candidates of their allotted test city nearly three weeks before the August 30 exam.

Security enhanced with Aadhaar-based authentication and iris biometric verification for exam day.

NEET-PG 2026 conducted in a single shift to ensure uniform difficulty and assessment.
