NBEMS has extended the Sponsored DNB Admissions 2025 NOC deadline to February 7, 2026. This allows more in-service doctors to apply after the NEET-PG cut-off was lowered. Eligibility criteria and NOC format remain as per the December 10, 2025 notice. Visit NBEMS website for updates.
DNB Admissions 2025:The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has extended the last date for the submission of the No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the Sponsored DNB Admissions 2025. As per the updated notice published by the NBEMS, the eligible candidates have the leeway to submit the NOC on or beforeFebruary 7, 2026.
This is because this decision has come after the cut-off has been lowered for NEET-PG, resulting in more candidates being eligible for the exam and needing more time to prepare and upload their NOCs on the NBEMS portal. This extension is important because it allows in-service doctors working in government hospitals, PSUs, and authorized institutions to take part in the centralized merit counseling for the Sponsored DNB Seats.
