Although NBEMS released a tentative exam calendar for the first half of 2026 on December 29, 2025, the dates for NEET PG 2026 were explicitly excluded from this schedule. The board stated that the schedule for NEET PG 2026 will be notified separately.
Expected Date for NEET PG 2026
Based on recent trends and expert analysis, the exam is tentatively expected to be held in the second half of the year.
- Expected Month: August 2026 (Tentative)
- Reasoning: In recent years (2024 and 2025), the exam cycle has shifted towards July–August due to delays in counseling and internship completion dates. Educational experts anticipate this trend to continue for the 2026 session.
