The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has officially reopened the exam city selection window for NEET PG 2025 starting today, June 13, 2025. However, within hours of the portal going live, the official website (natboard.edu.in) began facing technical issues, leaving many candidates staring at error messages and loading screens.
If you’re planning to appear for NEET PG this year, this step is absolutely crucial — and time-sensitive.
Why This Matters Right Now
Let’s get real: NEET PG is one of the most competitive medical entrance exams in India. And your exam centre isn’t just a location — it affects your stress levels, travel plans, timing, and even performance.
With the exam now scheduled for August 3, 2025, and being held in a single shift, NBEMS has made it mandatory for all candidates to reselect their preferred exam city. And it’s first-come, first-serve — so early birds truly do get the best worms.

⚠️ Website Crash — What You Need to Know
As of this morning, candidates reported that natboard.edu.in was not loading properly or showed errors while attempting to access the exam city selection section.
This is likely due to an overload of traffic, with thousands of students trying to log in at the same time. NBEMS has not yet released an official statement, but candidates are advised to retry at intervals, especially during non-peak hours like late night or early morning.
