NBEMS reopens DrNB Final October 2026 Only Practical applications till 14 Sep

Only Practical applications for the DrNB Final Examination October 2026 session are open again for ten days after candidates asked for another chance to file. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences notice is dated 02-09-2026. The subject is Extension of online application form for "ONLY PRACTICAL" for DrNB Final Examination October 2026 session. The two-page bilingual PDF is on natboard.edu.in. CreationDate on the local copy is Wed Sep 2 11:50:09 2026 UTC, which is 17:20 IST.

NBEMS had invited applications on 31-07-2026 for Theory and Practical and for Only Practical for the DrNB Final October 2026 session. The 02 September order does not reopen the Theory and Practical track. It reopens Only Practical alone. That distinction matters if you already filed one path and are watching the wrong row on the Board site.

The notice says the reopen follows representations from several candidates. It is a targeted application window, not a rewrite of the Information Bulletin and not a change to who needed Theory papers. If your status is Only Practical, this is the file that times your fresh online form. If you already completed a successful Only Practical submission under the July invite, the next paragraph of the notice says you do not reapply.

Re-opened window: 4 September 3:00 pm to 14 September 11:55 pm

Online applications for the Only Practical examination are being re-opened from 04-09-2026 at 03:00 PM till 14-09-2026 at 11:55 PM. Candidates who have already submitted their applications successfully are not required to apply again. A second submission is not asked for if the first one went through cleanly.

Candidates are advised to carefully read the Information Bulletin before applying and not to wait till the last date to finish the online process. No request for acceptance of an application through any mode after closure of the prescribed window shall be entertained by NBEMS. That line is the hard stop: when 14 September 11:55 pm passes, late pleas are out, regardless of how the plea is sent.

The bulletin remains the eligibility and scheme reference. This notice only times the Only Practical form. Do not treat the reopen as permission to skip bulletin clauses, document uploads or fee steps that the bulletin already requires for Only Practical candidates.

Queries, eligibility and what stays off this file

For application form submission, refund of failed transactions or payment gateway issues, the notice points to NBEMS Candidate Care Support at +91-7996165333 or the helpline portal reachable through applicant login. For eligibility or document questions, write on the NBEMS Communication Web Portal at https://exam.natboard.edu.in/communication.php?page=main. Queries or representations through any other mode may not be considered and may delay a response.

The notice does not print a practical centre list, a practical date sheet or a theory result link. It times the Only Practical application reopen. Candidates are advised to rely on information published on https://natboard.edu.in and not on rumours or unverified third-party messages. Treat this file as the application clock, not as the exam-day schedule.

Do not confuse this reopen with the Formative Assessment Test application extension dated the same day, or with staff Direct Recruitment date changes, or with Post Diploma joining steps on OPJR. Those are different NBEMS workflows. Only Practical for DrNB Final October 2026 is the single product timed here from 4 September 3:00 pm to 14 September 11:55 pm.

NBEMS notice dated 02-09-2026 on Only Practical for DrNB Final October 2026 is the two-page reopen order. The 04-09-2026 03:00 pm to 14-09-2026 11:55 pm window, and the line that successful earlier applicants need not reapply, are from that file alone.
