  "account": "The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced a rescheduling of the NEET PG 2026 examination at the iON Digital Zone in Jaipur, Rajasthan, due to a severe power outage at the venue. Originally scheduled for the iON Digital Zone, the exam will now take place on September 5, 2026, for all candidates allocated to this centre. This sudden change has left many candidates, who have travelled from neighbouring districts and states, in a state of distress. The NBEMS assured students that fresh admit cards and logistical details for the rescheduled examination will be communicated soon via the official portal. The medical entrance examination, both undergraduate and postgraduate, has faced controversy in recent years over issues such as paper leaks, arbitrary awarding of grace marks, and systemic mismanagement, leading to protests and legal challenges. NEET-PG candidates, who are required to qualify for admission to MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses, are advised to monitor the official NBEMS website and their registered email addresses for further updates and to download revised admit cards once issued.",
  "summary": "All candidates allotted to the Sitapura centre will now appear for their postgraduate medical entrance test on 5 September 2026.",
