NEET PG 2026: Random Allocations Spark Distress Among Candidates

The trouble started shortly after the release of the NEET PG 2026 city intimation slips. Students took to social media to share screenshots of text messages showing highly unexpected test locations. Many candidates found themselves assigned to cities hundreds of kilometres away from their preferred choices or home states, eventually increasing mental stress during preparation days.

NBEMS Issues Official Clarification

In response to the growing issues, NBEMS released an updated notice to clear the chaos.
