For many residents juggling clinical duties, thesis work, and exam preparation, this update comes as a welcome relief.
What Has NBEMS Announced?
NBEMS had initially invited online applications on 23 April 2026 for:
- Theory and Practical Examination
- Only Practical Examination
for the DNB Final June 2026 session.
The board has now officially extended the deadlines for both application submission and thesis upload.

These revised dates provide additional time for candidates to complete all formalities and avoid last-minute issues.
Already Submitted Your Application?
If you have already submitted your application successfully, there is no need to apply again.
Your previously submitted application remains valid, and no further action is required unless NBEMS specifically requests corrections or additional documents.
Why This Extension Matters?
DNB Final candidates often manage:

Don’t Let Administrative Work Delay Your Preparation
