The August 30 exam saw 2,73,096 registrations, with 2,65,980 candidates actually appearing across 1,111 centres in 339 Indian cities. Conducted in a single shift from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the paper was administered in an offline computer‑based mode and featured 180 questions, a reduction from the previous 200. A re‑examination held on September 5 for candidates at Jaipur centres may further affect the timeline. Once posted, the answer key and response sheet will be accessible via nbe.edu.in or cdn3.digialm.com after candidates log in with their application number and date of birth or password.
This is the first instance of NBEMS providing both the answer key and a detailed response sheet, complying with a Supreme Court order aimed at enhancing transparency in competitive examinations. The documents will enable candidates to estimate their scores before the official result, influencing admissions to postgraduate medical programmes such as MD, MS and diploma courses, and will inform the subsequent counselling process.
