Why This Date Matters
NEET PG 2026 falls exactly 28 days after UPSC CMS 2026 (August 2, 2026). For MBBS graduates attempting both exams, this gives roughly four weeks to shift focus from UPSC CMS’s clinical-vignette style to NEET PG’s broader 19-subject syllabus. It is also 63 days before INICET November 2026 (November 1), giving a clear three-exam preparation runway across August–November 2026.
