NEET PG Re-Exam Set for Jaipur Candidates

Chaos erupted at the ION Digital Zone Center in Sitapura, Jaipur, during the NEET PG-2026 examination, as candidates alleged that repeated computer shutdowns disrupted the exam. The exam was scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. but started around 10 a.m. due to technical difficulties.

According to candidates, the computers repeatedly shut down up to 10 times in two hours, and even after the systems were restarted, questions did not appear properly on their screens. The center staff were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the repeated technical glitches.

Following the exam, the candidates held a protest outside the center, alleging that they were threatened with action if they continued protesting. They doubted the confidentiality of the exam after repeated system outages and demanded a probe into the matter.

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced a re-examination for the affected candidates on September 5th. The re-examination will be conducted at two examination centers of ION Digital Zone IDG, Sitapura, Jaipur, during the NEET-PG 2026 exam.
