Last Updated:
Since the NEET PG 2025 exam will now be held in a single shift, NBE has requested students to re-submit their choice of exam city.
The National Board of Examinations (NBE) is set to conduct the NEET-PG 2025 exam on August 3 following the approval of the Supreme Court. 'NEET-PG 2025 will be conducted in Single Shift on 03.08.2025 as per the approval of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India," reads the official notice. The exam was earlier set to be conducted on June 15 in two shifts.
Since the NEET PG 2025 exam will now be held in a single shift, NBE has requested students to re-submit their choice of exam city. The selection of exam city by the candidates will be on First Come First Serve Basis. The process to choose the cities will open on June 13 and close on June 17.
'To accommodate all the candidates in Single Shift, NEET-PG will now be conducted in more cities. This will be in addition to the cities indicated in the information bulletin. Therefore, all the candidates will have to re-submit their choice of Exam City. The application form for choosing the Exam City will be live from 13.06.2025(03:00 PM) to 17.06.2025(11:55 PM)," the NBE stated.
'During submission of the online application form, candidate will be able to see only those cities where testing seats are available. The allotment of venue in the chosen Exam City will be done by NBEMS," the notice added.
The exam will be computer based and will be conducted in collaboration with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). For this, there is a plan to set up more than 1,000 exam centres in 250 cities across the country. About 60,000 people will be involved in conducting the exam, including site in-charge, system operator, security personnel, lab manager and electrician.
On May 30, a bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sanjay Kumar, and Justice N.K. Anjaria while announcing that the exam be held in a single shift, observed, 'Conducting the exam in two shifts results in arbitrariness and fails to ensure a level playing field. The question papers across the two shifts can never be of the same difficulty level. While last year it may have been held in two shifts due to specific circumstances prevailing at the time, the examining body should have made efforts to conduct the examination in a single shift this year."

After nearly 8 years, Ayodhya land circle rates hiked up to 200%
After nearly eight years, the circle rate of land in Ayodhya, where a Ram Temple was inaugurated last year, has been increased up to 200 per cent, depending on the use of land and location. While the order is effective from Saturday, a holiday, the land registry, as per the new circle rates, will begin from Monday. 'We have approved the proposal for a hike in circle rate after considering the objections we had received on our proposal circulated in August last year,' District Magistrate (Ayodhya) Nikhil Funde told The Indian Express on Sunday. On the hike, Funde said: 'The demand from the public was mostly to raise it more than our proposals in several areas. But the decision has been taken based on market rates and a survey conducted by us.' The circle rate is the district administration's assessment of land value in its jurisdiction, based on which stamp duty is fixed on sale or purchase, and based on which the administration acquires property from land owners, including farmers. On July 10 last year, The Indian Express had reported that the circle rates in Ayodhya have not been increased for the past seven years despite a surge in land transactions and the rising market value of land ever since the 2019 ruling of the Supreme Court that paved way for the construction of the Ram Temple in the town. The Uttar Pradesh Stamp (Amendment) Act, 1997, which was amended in 2015, stated that the 'District Collector, as far as possible, in every August month, will determine Rs per square metre minimum value of Agriculture/non-Agriculture land' and other immovable properties considering use of land, irrigation facilities, distance from road, market, bus station, railway station, factories, educational institutions, hospitals and government offices; its location within urban, semi-urban or rural areas; and other possibilities like distance from developed areas. Ayodhya is among 54 districts of Uttar Pradesh where the circle rate was last revised in 2017. In 21 districts, it was revised in 2023. The rates were also revised in districts adjoining Ayodhya such as Barabanki, Ambedkar Nagar, Gonda and Basti and Sultanpur. The steepest hike in the circle rate has been in areas near the Ram Janmabhoomi where the market rate of land has increased manifold since the Supreme Court's Ram Temple verdict. The highest hike of 200 per cent has been in villages like Tihura Manjha where the circle rate for 'agriculture' land since August 2017 ranged from Rs 11 lakh to Rs 23 lakh per hectare. In the latest circle rate, it has gone up to Rs 33 lakh and Rs 69 lakh per hectare. At Tihura Manjha village, the House of Abhinandan Lodha has purchased land and actor Amitabh Bachchan had signed an agreement for two plots last year. For Tihura Uparhar, the circle rate has been increased from Rs 32-71 lakh per hectare to Rs 42-95 lakh per hectare. In Shahnawzpur Majha, the rate has been increased from Rs 75-169 lakh per hectare to Rs 98-221 lakh per hectare. In Barahta Majha, the circle rate has been hiked from Rs 75 lakh- Rs 169 lakh per hectare to Rs 98 lakh- 221 lakh per hectare. At Ganja village, where the airport is located, old rates ranged between Rs 28 lakh to Rs 64 lakh per hectare. The new rates are between Rs 35 and 80 lakh per hectare. The UP Avas Vikas Parishad, which has proposed to build a township spread over nearly 1,800 acres, acquired nearly 600 acres until last March in villages such as Shahnawaz Pur Majha, Barhata Manjha, and Tihura Manjha. However, some of the farmers said the hike is not up to their expectations. 'Rates should have been increased at least 200 per cent in every village surrounding nearly 10 km of Ram Janmabhoomi. Farmers are not benefitting from the developments that are taking place in Ayodhya,' said Durga Yadav, who is fighting a legal case for an increase in circle rates in the Allahabad High Court. In last year's Lok Sabha elections, Samajwadi Party candidate Awadhesh Prasad defeated the sitting BJP MP from Faizabad parliamentary constituency, where Ayodhya is located. The Milkipur (SC) Assembly seat, vacated by Prasad, was won by the BJP later. Shyamlal Yadav is one of the pioneers of the effective use of RTI for investigative reporting. He is a member of the Investigative Team. His reporting on polluted rivers, foreign travel of public servants, MPs appointing relatives as assistants, fake journals, LIC's lapsed policies, Honorary doctorates conferred to politicians and officials, Bank officials putting their own money into Jan Dhan accounts and more has made a huge impact. He is member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). He has been part of global investigations like Paradise Papers, Fincen Files, Pandora Papers, Uber Files and Hidden Treasures. After his investigation in March 2023 the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York returned 16 antiquities to India. Besides investigative work, he keeps writing on social and political issues. ...

At the heart of the matter is a Supreme Court ruling that rejected a CoC approved plan given by AGI Greenpac because it did not adhere to the terms of the request for proposal. AGI Greenpac, which gave a higher offer than rival bidder INSCO, failed to get requisite approval from the Competition Commissioner of India (CCI) before the plan was approved by the CoC. It received a conditional approval from the CCI after lenders had voted on the plan.

Telangana HC tells GHMC to decide regularisation plea before demolition of Begumpet building
HYDERABAD : Justice T Vinod Kumar of the Telangana high court has directed the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation ( GHMC ) to consider an application filed by a woman and her son seeking regularisation of their Begumpet property —constructed in violation of approved building norms—before initiating any demolition. The dispute pertains to property bearing Nos. 6-3-1177/A/120 and 6-3-1177/A/104 in BS Maktha, Begumpet, where the petitioners, Cheguri Lakshmi and her son Cheguri Eswar Sai Kishore, constructed a building. The GHMC had granted permission in 2022 for a stilt and two upper floors. However, the petitioners allegedly constructed a ground+4 upper floors along with an additional fifth floor, citing structural stability and Vastu considerations. The matter surfaced after a local resident, P Narender, filed a writ petition alleging illegal construction. In response, the high court, in an order (dated April 18, 2024), directed the GHMC to act against the unauthorised structure. Lakshmi later filed a separate writ petition, arguing that she was not made a party in the earlier case and that she had submitted a regularisation application under section 455A of the GHMC Act, 1955, on June 1, 2024. The GHMC countered that the structure violated the sanctioned plan, setback norms, and other building regulations, and therefore was ineligible for regularisation. While dismissing Lakshmi's plea to set aside the earlier court order, Justice Vinod Kumar held that the petitioners had no legal basis to challenge a previous judicial direction through a fresh writ without first seeking review. He ruled that the earlier high court order remains valid. However, the judge directed GHMC to process the petitioner's section 455A application in accordance with the law and in the spirit of the high court's judgment in A Praveen Kumar vs State of Telangana (2023), which held that only constructions adhering to building rules are eligible for regularisation. The court declined to stay demolition but made it clear that no coercive action should be taken until the GHMC decides the pending application. Justice Vinod Kumar also observed that the petitioners had clubbed two plots totalling 400 square yards and constructed well beyond permissible limits, in clear violation of the Telangana Building Rules. The GHMC had earlier issued a speaking order on Oct 3, 2023, declaring the construction illegal—an order the petitioners failed to challenge. The judge concluded by stating that equity does not favour those who openly flout the law.
