We cannot line NEET SS up against other exams yet
This does not mean NEET SS shares nothing with the exams you are preparing for — only that we have not loaded a chapter-by-chapter syllabus we can compare against, so we will not guess. We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

FAQsPending verification
When is NEET-SS 2026?
NBEMS's notice dated 29 April 2026 gives tentative dates of 11 December 2026 (Friday) and 12 December 2026 (Saturday). NBEMS calls this schedule purely tentative and says the exact dates will be given in the Information Bulletin, which had not been published as of 3 August 2026. The cut-off date for completing the prior entry qualification is 31 January 2027.
What happened in the last cycle?
NEET-SS 2025 was conducted on 26 and 27 December 2025 for admission to DM/MCh/DrNB Super Specialty courses in the 2025-26 admission session. Applications ran from 5 November to 25 November 2025, admit cards were issued on 22 December 2025, and NBEMS declared the result by a notice dated 23 January 2026 (the bulletin had committed to declaring it by 28 January 2026).
What is the exam pattern?
A computer based test of 150 multiple choice questions in 150 minutes, split into three time-bound sections A, B and C of 50 questions and 50 minutes each. You cannot go back to a section once its time is over. Each correct answer is 4 marks, each incorrect answer loses 1 mark (25% negative marking), and unattempted questions score zero.
What is a 'group' and how many are there?
All super specialty courses offered through NEET-SS are grouped into 15 question paper groups, so there are 15 different papers. Thirteen groups are examined on the PG Exit level curriculum of a primary feeder broad specialty; the Critical Care Medicine and Medical Oncology groups are examined on those super specialty subjects themselves. You may sit as many group papers as your PG qualification is an eligible feeder for, paying Rs. 3,500 per group.
What score qualifies?
Candidates placed at the 50th percentile or above in their own question paper group's merit list are declared qualified. Merit lists are group-wise, with no equating, scaling or normalization.
Who conducts the counselling?
Common counselling for all DM, MCh and DrNB super specialty seats is conducted at national level by the Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) of the Directorate General of Health Services, Government of India, at https://mcc.nic.in. NBEMS does not handle counselling or seat allotment queries.
Are all super specialty seats in the country filled through NEET-SS?
No. NBEMS lists AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh, JIPMER Puducherry, NIMHANS Bengaluru and the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum as not covered by centralized admissions for DM/MCh seats through NEET-SS. Direct 6-year DrNB courses are also outside NEET-SS.
