NEET PG 2026 Exam Details: Pattern Changes and Guidelines
· India · Indian Express, NDTV
The NEET PG 2026 examination will be held on August 30 across 1,111 centres in 338 cities, with 2,73,183 candidates registered to appear. Officials have introduced a change to the exam pattern, reducing the total number of questions from 200 to 180 while maintaining the 3-hour and 30-minute duration. Candidates must arrive before the reporting counter closes, which occurs 30 minutes prior to the start of the test. Required documents for entry include a printed colour copy of the barcoded admit card, a valid government-issued photo ID, and a copy of the SMC, MCI, or NMC registration certificate.
Why it matters
The reduction in question count provides candidates with more time per question, while strict adherence to document and reporting requirements is essential for entry into the examination centres.
