NEET PG 2027 expected dates: registration, admit card, exam (likely August 2027), result and MCC counselling, based on the 2024–2026 NBEMS cycles.

NEET PG dates have shifted at short notice in recent years — so plan around the pattern, but confirm every date with NBEMS. NEET PG is the entrance exam for MD, MS and PG diploma seats across most of India (AIIMS, JIPMER, PGIMER Chandigarh and NIMHANS admit through INI-CET instead). NEET PG 2027 has not been announced yet. This page lists the expected NEET PG 2027 timeline — registration, exam, result and counselling — based on the 2024–2026 cycles, so you can structure your preparation and internship timeline around it.

NBEMS has changed the NEET PG format before, most recently in 2026. Check the 2027 information bulletin before you plan your mock tests around it.

Key Deadlines to Never Miss

  1. Internship completion cut-off: Your internship must be completed by the date in the bulletin. Track this precisely — it decides your eligibility.
  2. Registration deadline: Windows are short. Register in the first week and keep documents scanned and ready.
  3. Counselling registration: Register for both MCC (AIQ) and your state counselling immediately after the result; the windows overlap and are short.

NEET PG 2027 dates are tentative and based on the 2024–2026 cycles; NBEMS has revised dates at short notice before. Always verify on the official NBEMS website and MCC portal.
