NEET PG 2026 Selective Edit Window Open; Candidates Can Correct Image Issues Till August 10

National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has released a notice. It has opened the NEET PG 2026 selective edit window for aspirants. The window is active on the official website, natboard.edu.in. Candidates have until August 10, 2026, to correct any missing or poor quality documents. The correction period lasts for 11 days in total. NEET PG is the top postgraduate medical entrance exam in India. It is the gateway to MD, MS, PG Diploma, and DNB courses. This facility is for candidates who were flagged during the image check. Only three files can be corrected: the photograph, signature, and left thumb impression. No other details like personal information, category, test city preferences, or academic details can be changed during this time. The board has made this correction option only for image quality issues.

What Can Be Corrected?

NBEMS has listed three specific documents that can be fixed. Any other request will not be processed.

• Photograph that was not up to the required standard
• Signature that did not meet image quality criteria
• Left thumb impression that was marked as invalid

Who Is Eligible for the Selective Edit Window?

Only a specific group of candidates can use this correction facility. NBEMS has clearly defined the eligibility criteria.

• Candidates who have completed their NEET PG 2026 application
• Those flagged for image deficiencies during NBEMS evaluation
• Candidates who received an email notice
• Candidates whose images passed scrutiny do not need to log in.

The board hasn’t opened the window for full form edits. Only image-related corrections are allowed here.
