The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has reopened the NEET PG 2025 exam city selection window, giving candidates another chance to select the most convenient city for their postgraduate entrance exam. The NEET PG 2025 will be held on August 3, and this opportunity can significantly reduce the travel and stress associated with attending the test.
Why Has the City Selection Window Reopened?
NBEMS is conducting NEET PG 2025 in a single shift nationwide—from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. To manage this uniformly and ensure fair testing conditions, the board has expanded the number of test cities to 233. This helps accommodate all aspirants and reduces the need to travel long distances. With this step, NBEMS aims to ease the logistical challenges and ensure a more equitable and efficient testing experience for all candidates.

Key Points to Consider Before Choosing
Choose a city that’s easily accessible from your current location. Prioritize cities with strong transport links, such as railway stations or airports, and check for local connectivity to avoid any last-minute confusion.
Check for budget-friendly and reliable accommodation options nearby, especially if you’ll need to travel and stay overnight. Booking your stay early can save time and reduce stress.
August weather in some regions may bring heavy rains or heatwaves. Think about how the local climate might affect your comfort and exam day preparedness.
Since city allocation is done on a first-come, first-served basis, the earlier you submit your choice, the better your chances of getting your preferred location.
