NBEMS opens DNB Final December 2026 applications till 12 October

NEW DELHI: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences has invited online applications for the DNB Final Examination December 2026 session. A notice dated 23 September 2026 says the theory examination will be held on 19, 20, 21 and 22 November 2026 at centres across the country.

The Information Bulletin became available from 5:00 PM on 23 September 2026. Online submission of the application form for Theory and Practical exam, and for ONLY practical exam, opened from the same time and remains open till 11:55 PM on 12 October 2026. Candidates should read the bulletin for eligibility, fee structure and scheme before they start the form.

Dates candidates must not miss

Application window: 23 September 2026, 5:00 PM onwards, to 12 October 2026, 11:55 PM. Theory exam dates: 19 to 22 November 2026. Registration is through the link on the NBEMS notice and the examinations portal. NBEMS says no request to accept an application after the window closes will be entertained through any mode.

For application form submission, refund of failed transactions and payment gateway issues, candidates can contact NBEMS Candidate Care Support at +91-7996165333 or write through the helpline portal accessible from applicant login. For eligibility or document queries, write on the Communication Web Portal at https://exam.natboard.edu.in/communication.php?page=main.

Advice printed with the notice

NBEMS advises candidates to finish the online process early and not wait for the last date. The Board also asks candidates not to rely on rumours, unverified social media posts or third-party messages, and to trust only information published on https://natboard.edu.in or shared through official NBEMS channels listed with the notice.

Trainees who need only the practical component should confirm that pathway in the Information Bulletin before paying fees for the full theory-plus-practical track. Keep fee receipts, internship or training certificates and identity documents ready for upload as the bulletin requires. The December 2026 session calendar is now live; missing the 12 October 11:55 PM cut means waiting for a later session notice.

Download the Information Bulletin on the day you apply, note the November exam dates in your duty roster, and complete payment inside the portal rather than assuming a bank transfer outside the form will be accepted. The 23 September notice is the controlling public statement for this application window.

Candidates should rely only on the official notice named in this report and the portal URLs printed there, and should keep local PDF copies of every scorecard, allotment letter or circular they download during the live window. Check the official website again before the closing hour in case a corrigendum is uploaded on the same page.
