Each question offered four options, with candidates required to select the most appropriate answer. The exam included a 25% negative marking penalty for incorrect responses, while unattempted questions carried no marks deduction.

NBEMS responsibilities

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences limits its role to conducting the examination, announcing results, and transferring them to the designated counseling authority. 

The organisation does not participate in counseling procedures or seat allocation. Document verification and candidate eligibility checks will be handled by respective authorities during the counseling and admission phases.
