NEET PG 2026 Admit Card Out: Over 2.73 Lakh Candidates Can Download Hall Ticket

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has officially made the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET-PG) 2026 admit cards available on its official portal on Tuesday, August 25. Over 2.73 lakh medical graduates registered for the national entrance exam can now access their hall tickets via the applicant login on natboard.edu.in and nbe.edu.in. The admit card serves as the mandatory entry hall ticket for the upcoming examination, which remains strictly scheduled for Sunday, August 30, 2026.

Revised Timeline and Administration Adjustments

The release of the admit card follows a brief modification in the board's administrative schedule. Originally intended for release on August 24, the hall tickets were deferred by 24 hours to August 25 due to administrative adjustments and specific requests received from regional authorities in Assam and Meghalaya. NEET PG 2026 Paper Leaked on Telegram, Instagram?
