Timeline Snapshot
NEET-PG Is Mandatory for MD/MS/PG Diploma Admissions
NBEMS reiterated that admission to MD/MS/PG Diploma programmes is permitted only through NEET-PG. State governments, private medical colleges, and universities are not allowed to conduct separate entrance examinations for these courses. However, a few institutions may be exempt under specific rules—candidates should review the respective Information Bulletin for details.
What Candidates Should Do Next
- Block the exam date on your calendar and plan your final revision window (especially the last 8–12 weeks).
- Track your internship end date and ensure it meets the official cut-off; keep all certificates ready.
- Follow official NBEMS updates for application start dates, admit card timelines, exam city slips, and result schedules.
- If you are targeting institutes with separate policies/exemptions, verify eligibility and counselling rules from the official bulletin.
