NEET-PG Admit Card — Release, Download and Exam-Day Rules

Last verified: 30 September 2026 against NBEMS NEET-PG 2026 Information Bulletin (Chapters 5–6) and natboard.edu.in NEET-PG page.

When does NBEMS release the NEET-PG admit card?

The release date is fixed in each year's information bulletin. The 2026 sequence below is a good guide to the order of events; watch the NEET-PG page on natboard.edu.in for the next cycle.

How do I download it, and what should I check?

1. Open the NEET-PG page on natboard.edu.in and log in with the user ID and password you created at registration.
2. Download the admit card. It is not posted, and it disappears from the site after the result, so save a PDF.
3. Print it in colour on clean paper. The barcode / QR code is scanned at the entry table.

Before you file it away, check:

• Your name matches your photo ID. If it changed after marriage or by gazette notification, carry the supporting document.
• The photo is the one you uploaded, and it is clearly printed.
• The centre address and Google Maps location. NBEMS asks you to visit the centre at least a day early, because the main gate and the reporting counter can be far apart.
• The list of permitted items printed on the admit card itself.

What must I carry on exam day?

• Printed COLOUR copy of the barcoded / QR-coded admit card
• Photocopy of permanent / provisional SMC / NMC (MCI) registration — kept by the centre
• One original, valid government photo ID: PAN card, driving licence, voter ID, passport or Aadhaar (with photograph)
• UDID / disability certificate, only if claiming a scribe or extra time
• Original FMGE pass certificate, only for Indian citizens / OCI with a foreign primary medical qualification

Photocopies of ID and DigiLocker copies are not accepted. If you gave your Aadhaar number in the form, bring the Aadhaar and unlock its biometrics beforehand at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in or in the mAadhaar app; a locked biometric can hold you up at verification.

What is not allowed inside the centre?

A barred item found beyond the security check is treated as unfair means. Expect a metal-detector check, frisking and an ear check for hidden devices. No pen, pencil or rough paper is allowed or provided, so practise doing calculations in your head.

What happens at the centre, hour by hour?

At registration your fingerprints and photo are taken, and Face ID is matched against the photo from your application, again at each bio-break and during the exam. No extra time is given for these checks. The paper then runs in five time-locked sections: once a section closes you cannot go back to it. Friends and family are not allowed in the premises, and NBEMS asks them not to crowd the gates.
