NEET PG revised exam date expected to release soon: Check details here
NEET PG revised exam date 2025: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) will release the fresh dates for the postgraduate medical entrance exam shortly on the official website.
The NEET PG exam, initially scheduled for June 15, was postponed following a Supreme Court directive mandating that the examination be held in a single shift. The NBEMS postponed the exam to initiate large-scale logistical arrangements to comply with the court's ruling.
Supreme Court calls for single-shift exam to ensure fairness
The decision comes after the Supreme Court of India strongly objected to NEET PG being conducted in two shifts, labelling the practice as 'arbitrary' and 'unfair.'
The Court underscored that normalisation mechanisms used to balance scores between shifts fail to ensure absolute fairness, particularly in a high-stakes examination that determines postgraduate medical admissions nationwide.
Citing the need for uniformity and transparency, the apex court directed that NEET PG 2025 be held in a single session, providing equal conditions for all examinees.
NBEMS faces logistical overhaul
In light of the Court's directive, NBEMS is now faced with the monumental task of reorganising the national-level exam.
Conducting NEET PG in a single shift requires the addition of nearly 900 new test centres across India.
This expansion will also necessitate robust security measures, including the deployment of signal jammers and enhanced surveillance to maintain exam integrity.
According to NBEMS, the extensive operational overhaul requires additional time, prompting the indefinite postponement of the examination.
Revised schedule expected soon
While the exact date for the rescheduled NEET PG 2025 exam remains pending, NBEMS has assured that a revised timetable will be published soon on its official portals — nbe.edu.in and natboard.edu.in.
This includes updates on the exam date, city intimation slips, and admit card release.
The city intimation slips, which were originally slated to be released on June 2, have also been deferred.
About NEET PG 2025
NEET PG 2025 is the qualifying entrance examination for medical graduates aspiring to pursue MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses in India. The exam is administered by NBEMS and serves as the gateway to postgraduate medical education across government and private institutions.
Following the exam, qualified candidates participate in counselling sessions. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) oversees the counselling for 50% of All India Quota (AIQ) seats, while state counselling authorities handle the remainder.
Advisory for candidates
NBEMS has advised candidates to remain patient and focused on their preparation while awaiting the revised schedule. All aspirants are encouraged to rely on official NBEMS websites and other credible sources for verified updates and avoid rumours or misinformation circulating on other platforms.
With the future of thousands of medical graduates hinging on the NEET PG results, the restructuring aims to provide a level playing field, a critical move in restoring credibility to India's medical entrance framework.

US SC gives Trump admin's DOGE dept full authorisation to access social security data
Washington, June 7 (UNI) The US Supreme Court on Friday authorised officials from the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to access Social Security Administration data, giving it complete access to all sensitive private data of American citizens. The Supreme Court issued the authorisation after allowing an emergency petition filed by the administration of President Donald Trump to ask for a lifting of an injunction issued by a district judge in Maryland, who stated that privacy must be safeguarded, reports said. 'Under the present circumstances, SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work,' the court said in a three-paragraph order. The order didn't, however, give the reasoning behind its ruling, which has become a very controversial issue. The order was also challenged by the court's three liberals — Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson — all of whom dissented. In an opinion joined by Sotomayor, Jackson said the court was 'creating grave privacy risks for millions of Americans.' In the SSA case, US Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the Supreme Court that 'the government cannot eliminate waste and fraud if district courts bar the very agency personnel with expertise and the designated mission of curtailing such waste and fraud from performing their jobs.' The DOGE department, which was created by the Trump administration and was until recently headed by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, before his resignation following his spat with the POTUS, while not an official government department, was designed specifically to monitor data fraud and misinformation. The disputed data includes Social Security numbers, addresses, birth and marriage certificates, tax and earnings records, employment history, and bank and credit card information. The lawsuit challenging DOGE's actions alleged that allowing broader access to personal information would violate a federal law called the Privacy Act, as well as the Administrative Procedure Act. U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander had ruled that DOGE had no legitimate need to access the specific data in question, according to Xinhua. The 4th circuit court of appeals, based in Richmond, Virginia, declined to block Judge Hollander's decision, prompting the Trump administration to file an emergency request with the Supreme Court. In a separate order issued Friday in another case involving DOGE, the Supreme Court granted an additional request filed by the Trump administration, allowing it to shield DOGE from Freedom of Information Act requests for the time being.

‘Wasn't sure I would return': ‘Pushed into Bangladesh' despite case in Supreme Court, Assam man is back home in time for Eid
Two weeks after he was detained from his home and allegedly pushed into Bangladesh by security forces, 51-year-old Khairul Islam celebrated Eid with his family in Assam's Morigaon district after he was brought back and handed over to his family. 'There are no words for the thoughts that were going through my head during those two days that I was in Bangladesh. I was fearful, I was not sure if I would ever be able to come back to my family,' he told The Indian Express, speaking from his home. Islam, a former government school primary teacher, had been declared a foreigner by a Foreigners Tribunal in 2016. As reported by The Indian Express, his special leave petition against the FT order was granted by the Supreme Court in December 2024, despite which he was detained by police on May 23 as part of an ongoing crackdown against declared foreigners in Assam. On May 27, a video uploaded on social media by a Bangladeshi journalist of Khairul Islam was the first indication that declared foreigners were being pushed across the International Border into the country. In the video, which purportedly shown Islam in Bangladesh's Kurigram district, he could be heard saying that on May 23, he was taken by the police from his home to the Matia transit camp – the dedicated detention centre to house 'illegal foreigners' in Assam – and that he was put into a bus with his hands tied and pushed across the border with 13 others on May 27. A few days later, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed that the government is pushing back declared foreigners, citing a February 4 Supreme Court order. However, Sarma also said that those with appeals pending before the Gauhati High Court or the Supreme Court 'are not being troubled.' 'My wife had seen the video of me stuck in no-man's land. At the same time, the CM also said that people with cases in the High Court and Supreme Court can't be picked up. Because I have my Supreme Court case, she made an appeal to the border branch of the Superintendent of Police's office and they assured her that they will try to bring me back in a few days. So that's how I was brought back to Assam, and I came back to my home on Thursday night,' he said. He recounted the day that the video of him was taken: 'After the security forces took us to the border and pushed us into Bangladesh, there was nowhere for us to go. The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) also pushed us away and sent us back to the zero line or the no-man's land. That was where we were the whole day, under the sun in the paddy field. I was with 13 other people. When the media there wanted us to speak, I had to speak about our plight because the rest were unable to speak with clarity. After spending the whole day there, the BGB took us to their camp and gave us food to eat. I remember it was egg and dal. The next morning, we were taken to another camp and we spent the rest of the day there until, in the evening, seven of us were handed over back to the BSF,' he said. Islam has been battling his citizenship case for a decade now and had spent two years in detention in Tezpur central jail after the Gauhati High Court had upheld the FT order in 2018. 'I have complete hope that I will be given justice by the Supreme Court when the time comes. For now, I am glad that I am with my family today,' he said.
