The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has issued a clarification for NEET PG 2026 candidates after some applicants reportedly received incorrect information about their allotted test city through SMS.

According to the board, the incorrect messages were sent due to a technical issue. Candidates who were affected have subsequently been provided with the correct test city details through SMS and email. The updated information has also been made available on the NBEMS Applicant Portal.

What should candidates do now?

Candidates should not rely solely on an earlier SMS while making travel or accommodation arrangements for the NEET PG examination. Instead, they should log in to the official NBEMS Applicant Portal and verify the test city currently displayed against their application.

If the test city mentioned in an earlier SMS differs from the information available on the Applicant Portal, candidates should follow the latest details displayed on the portal.

Correct details available on applicant portal

The Applicant Portal has been updated with the revised test city information, according to NBEMS. Candidates can access their application using their login credentials and check the latest details.

The updated information is particularly important for candidates travelling to another city for the examination, as changes in the allotted city can affect transportation, accommodation and other arrangements.

Did you receive two different test city messages?

Candidates who received an incorrect test city in an earlier SMS and a different city through a subsequent SMS or email should cross-check both against their Applicant Portal.

The portal should be treated as the key source for verifying the currently updated test city information. Candidates are advised to complete this verification before booking flights, trains, hotels or making other non-refundable arrangements.

Keep these points in mind

• Check the latest test city details on the NBEMS Applicant Portal.

• Do not make travel plans solely on the basis of an earlier SMS.

• If you received revised information by SMS or email, cross-check it online.

• Keep checking official NBEMS updates for any further instructions.

• Make travel and accommodation arrangements only after confirming the updated test city.

The clarification is aimed at preventing confusion among candidates following the technical issue. With the revised test city details now available through the Applicant Portal, candidates should verify their information and rely on the latest official update while planning for the examination.
