Follow these steps carefully on natboard.edu.in to complete your NEET PG 2026 registration:

  1. Visit the official NBEMS portal at natboard.edu.in and locate the NEET PG 2026 application link on the homepage.
  2. New registration: Click "New Registration" and enter your name, date of birth, email ID, and mobile number. Verify with the OTP sent to your registered mobile.
  3. Login with credentials: Use the system-generated registration ID and password received on your email to log in to the applicant dashboard.
  4. Fill in personal details: Enter your full name (exactly as on your MBBS certificate), date of birth, gender, nationality, category, and correspondence address.
  5. Fill in academic details: Enter your MBBS college name, university, year of passing, roll number, registration number, and internship status.
  6. Upload documents: Upload your photograph, signature, MBBS certificate, and other required documents in the specified format and size limits.
  7. Review all details carefully: Errors in name spelling, date of birth, or category are difficult to correct after submission. Cross-check everything before proceeding.

  9. Submit and save confirmation: Click the final Submit button after successful payment. Download and print the confirmation page immediately — it serves as your application receipt.

Students who have already registered but not yet completed fee payment must log in to their existing account and make the payment before July 21, 2026. Do not create a duplicate registration.


Documents Required for NEET PG 2026 Application

Keep all documents in digital format (JPEG or PDF as applicable) before starting the application. Uploading a blurred, oversized, or incorrectly formatted file is one of the most common reasons for rejection at the application stage.

Document Purpose Format
MBBS Degree / Provisional Certificate Proof of qualifying degree PDF / JPEG
Internship Completion Certificate Mandatory eligibility proof PDF / JPEG
Class 10 Certificate or Birth Certificate Date of birth proof PDF / JPEG
Passport-sized Photograph Identity in application form JPEG
Scanned Signature Applicant identity verification JPEG
Government-issued Photo ID Identity at exam centre PDF / JPEG
Category Certificate — SC/ST/OBC/EWS Fee concession and reservation benefit PDF / JPEG
PwD Certificate (if applicable) PwD reservation and compensatory time PDF / JPEG

NEET PG 2026 Application Fee

Fee payment is mandatory to complete NEET PG 2026 registration — an application form submitted without payment will not be processed. The fee is non-refundable once paid successfully.

Category Application Fee
General / OBC (NCL) Rs. 4,250
SC / ST / PwD Rs. 3,250

Payment is accepted online only through the NBEMS payment gateway on natboard.edu.in via debit card, credit card, or net banking. If a payment attempt fails and the amount is deducted, wait 48–72 hours for the amount to be automatically reversed before making a fresh attempt.


Photo and Signature Specifications

Non-compliant photographs and signatures are among the most frequent reasons for application rejection. Ensure your scans match these requirements exactly before uploading:

Parameter Photograph Signature
File Format JPEG / JPG JPEG / JPG
File Size 10 KB – 200 KB 4 KB – 50 KB
Background White or light plain background White paper
Recency Taken within the last six months Current signature (not old scans)
Other Conditions Full face visible, no dark glasses, no caps Black or blue ink, no smudging

Use a scanner instead of a phone camera for best results. Ensure the image is not blurry or pixelated — the same photograph will appear on your admit card and must be recognisable at the exam centre.
