Introduction

You’ve prepared for NEET PG, submitted your application, and even paid the examination fee — but for some reason, you now need to apply for a refund. Whether it’s due to form rejection, double payment, or withdrawal, the refund process can seem intimidating if you don’t know where to start.

Did you know that many students miss out on their refunds simply because they fail to follow the correct procedure or meet the deadlines? In this blog, we’ll walk you through a clear, practical, and step-by-step process to ensure your NEET PG 2025 fee refund is processed correctly — without unnecessary delays.

We’ll cover eligibility, required documents, application steps, timelines, and common mistakes to avoid.

Eligibility for NEET PG Fee Refund

Before initiating the process, check if you qualify for a refund. Typically, refunds are allowed in the following cases:

  • Duplicate payment due to technical errors or multiple transactions.
  • Rejection of application by the NBE (National Board of Examinations) due to ineligibility.
  • Exam cancellation in rare circumstances announced by the authorities.
  • Excess payment beyond the applicable fee.

Refunds are not usually granted for voluntary withdrawal after the deadline or for incorrect application details entered by the candidate.

Step-by-Step NEET PG Fee Refund Process

1: Review the Official Refund Policy

Visit the official NBE NEET PG notification or bulletin for the exam year. The refund eligibility, timelines, and method may vary each year.

2: Prepare Required Details

Keep the following details ready:

  • NEET PG 2025 Application ID / Candidate ID
  • Registered name as per application form
  • Registered mobile number & email address
  • Transaction details (payment ID, date, payment mode)
  • Valid bank account details (name, account number, IFSC code) for refund processing

3: Log in to the Candidate Portal

  • Go to the official NBE website (nbe.edu.in).
  • Select the NEET PG 2025 section.
  • Log in using your User ID and password.

4: Access the Refund Request Form

  • After logging in, check under “Application Services” or “Refund Request.”
  • If no direct option is available, download the Refund Request Form from the official notices section and fill it manually.

5: Submit Refund Application Online or via Email

  • If online: Fill in details and attach transaction proof.
  • If via email: Send the scanned refund request form, payment proof, and ID details to the official NBE refund email provided in the bulletin.
    (Always send from your registered email ID.)

6: Keep Proof of Submission

Save acknowledgment receipts or email confirmations for your records.

Refund Timeline and Process

Typically, eligible refunds are processed within 30 working days after approval. The amount is credited to the same payment source used for the transaction unless specified otherwise.

  • For duplicate payments: Refunds are usually faster (10–15 working days).
  • For rejected applications: Refunds are processed after the application scrutiny process ends.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using unregistered bank accounts for refund requests.
  • Forgetting to attach payment proof with the request.
  • Submitting requests after the deadline mentioned in the bulletin.
  • Sending details from unregistered email IDs, leading to request rejection.
