Overview
- The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences announced results on Thursday, confirming that 2,63,544 candidates sat the August 30 test and 2,416 took a re‑exam in Jaipur.
- Category cut‑offs were set at 262 marks for General/EWS, 244 for General PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC including PwBD candidates; ranks were derived from actual marks and tie‑breaking rules.
- NBEMS will publish the provisional answer key and each candidate’s recorded response sheet on or after October 1 and will make system‑generated scorecards available for six months for candidates to download.
- A power supply failure at the Sitapura Jaipur centre forced a postponed session and a re‑examination on September 5 that affected roughly 2,440 candidates according to officials.
- The board said post‑exam faculty reviews found no technically incorrect questions and cautioned that candidature remains provisional pending eligibility checks and state quota merit‑list and counselling processes.
