The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has cancelled the NEET PG results of 22 candidates for alleged use of unfair means in examinations conducted between 2021 and 2025.
The action, announced through an official notification, includes 13 candidates from the NEET PG 2025 session alone.
According to the NBEMS, the scorecards and results of all 22 candidates stand null and void.
Of the 22 candidates whose results were invalidated, 13 appeared in NEET PG 2025, three in 2024, four in 2023, and one each in 2022 and 2021.
This year’s NEET PG exam saw participation from over 2.42 lakh candidates, of whom 1,28,116 were declared qualified for admission to Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Surgery (MS), and PG Diploma courses.
However, the counselling schedule for NEET PG 2025 is yet to be announced, as the exam remains under legal scrutiny over transparency concerns and a pending petition seeking the release of full question papers and answer keys.
Alongside NEET PG candidates, the NBEMS has also cancelled the candidature of 11 students who appeared in the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) between 2021 and 2025.
These candidates were similarly found to have used unfair means during the exam.
