NBEMS Grants Extension for NOC Submission for Sponsored DNB Seats
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences has announced an important extension for medical candidates. NBEMS has pushed back the deadline for submitting the No Objection Certificate for Sponsored DNB seats. This change applies specifically to Post MBBS and Post Diploma admissions for the 2025 session.
Health Ministry Directives Prompt Deadline Extension
The decision to extend the NOC submission timeline comes directly from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Government authorities issued clear directions that NBEMS has now implemented. This extension aims to ensure sponsored seats do not remain vacant during the current admission cycle.
According to official communications from both the Health Ministry and NBEMS, the board has also adjusted qualification standards. NEET PG 2025 will now feature a lower minimum qualifying percentile. This temporary adjustment applies only to the 2025 admission session and its associated counseling process.
New Submission Deadline and Counseling Details
NBEMS officially announced this extension through a notice dated December 10, 2025. The notice concerns the Centralized Merit-Based Online Counseling for sponsored seats. Candidates now have until February 7, 2026, to submit their No Objection Certificates.
This extended window gives eligible candidates additional time to prepare their documentation. Those interested in sponsored DNB seat counseling can now submit their NOC in the prescribed format. The extension specifically helps candidates who need more time to obtain proper certification from competent authorities.
Eligibility and Format Requirements Remain Unchanged
NBEMS has clarified that despite the deadline extension, other requirements stay the same. The eligibility criteria for candidates remain completely unchanged. The format for the No Objection Certificate also follows the original specifications.
All counseling participation instructions continue as outlined in the December 10, 2025 notice. Candidates must strictly adhere to the given format when preparing their NOC documents. Timely submission remains crucial to avoid disqualification from the counseling process.
Important Considerations for Applicants
The No Objection Certificate serves as an essential document for centralized merit-based online counseling. NBEMS advises all candidates to carefully verify their eligibility before submission. Applicants should follow the prescribed format meticulously to ensure acceptance.
Non-compliance with format requirements or delayed submission could lead to candidature rejection. Candidates should maintain copies of all submitted documents for their records. Regular monitoring of the official NBEMS website is recommended for the latest updates and announcements.
This extension provides valuable additional time for medical graduates seeking sponsored DNB positions. The combined changes aim to increase eligible candidate numbers while maintaining rigorous admission standards. Medical aspirants should utilize this extended window to ensure proper documentation and submission.
