NEET PG Results Cancelled – Results Cancelled for 22 Candidates
Introduction
In a significant decision to uphold exam integrity, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has cancelled the NEET PG results of 22 candidates across exam sessions from 2021–2025, citing irregularities and misuse of unfair means. (Hindustan Times)
Of these, 13 candidates belong to the current 2025 batch. (Careers360 Medicine) This move has sent ripples across the medical education sector, affecting counselling schedules and aspirants’ plans.
Why Were the Results Cancelled?
- The NBEMS Examination Ethics Committee flagged 21 candidates for using unfair means during the NEET PG exam. (www.ndtv.com)
- One candidate’s result was annulled pursuant to a Karnataka High Court order (Writ Petition No. 5785 of 2025). (NBEMS)
- The official “Cancellation of Result of NEET-PG” notice published by NBEMS lists roll numbers, names, session, and remarks for each cancelled candidature. (NBEMS)
In the notice, NBEMS clarifies that any use of the cancelled scorecards—for admission, registration, employment, or higher-education purposes—is strictly unlawful. (NBEMS)
Year-wise & Batch Breakdown
Here’s how the cancellations are distributed across sessions:
| Session (Year) | Number of Candidates Cancelled | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 13 | The largest share of cancellations (Careers360 Medicine) |
| 2024 | 3 | Identified in official notice (NBEMS) |
| 2023 | 4 | Included in the cancellation list (NBEMS) |
| 2022 | 1 | Single case flagged (NBEMS) |
| 2021 | 1 | Also included (NBEMS) |
This confirms that the action is not restricted to just the current year but spans multiple exam cycles. (Best Colleges India Today)
Impact on Counselling & Medical Admissions
- The NEET PG 2025 counselling (for MD/MS/DNB seats) is scheduled to begin in the third week of October. However, cancellations may affect allocations. (www.ndtv.com)
- Candidates whose results were cancelled cannot participate in counselling, nor can they use the scorecard for admission or recruitment. (Hindustan Times)
- NBEMS explicitly disclaims any liability for claims or consequences arising from misuse of the cancelled results. (NBEMS)
Because this decision affects ongoing admission processes, students and institutions must closely monitor further updates from NBEMS and MCC (Medical Counselling Committee).
Steps Affected Candidates Can Take
- Review Official List: Check the NBEMS cancellation notice PDF for your name/roll number. (NBEMS)
- Legal Recourse: If you believe the cancellation is unfair or erroneous, you may consider a writ petition or appeal—as in the Karnataka case.
- Prepare for Next Session: If disqualified for this session, you may need to reattempt NEET PG when eligible.
- Avoid Using Cancelled Scorecards: Do not present the cancelled result for admissions or jobs; this may lead to further disqualification or legal consequences.
- Stay Informed: Follow NBEMS, MCC, and Medical Education Ministry for counselling updates and clarifications.
What This Means for Exam Integrity & Medical Education
- The move sends a strong message against malpractice and reinforces accountability in high-stakes medical exams.
- It underscores the need for robust surveillance, proctoring, and verification mechanisms in exams like NEET PG.
- For aspirants, it escalates the importance of fair preparation and compliance with exam rules over shortcuts.
- Institutions must adapt their admission systems to handle sudden cancellations and reallocation of seats.
