NEET PG 2025: Exam postponed; new dates for city slip and admit card to be announced soon
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has officially postponed the NEET-PG 2025 examination, originally scheduled for June 15, 2025. The decision follows a Supreme Court order to conduct the exam in a single shift. Once declared, candidates will be able to access the city slip and admit card through the official website 'As stated in NBEMS notice dated 02.06.2025, the NEET-PG 2025 scheduled to be held on 15.06.2025 needs to be postponed to arrange for more test centers and required infrastructure', reads the official notification. The NBEMS had earlier planned to issue the city intimation slip on June 2, 2025, but the postponement has now pushed back the release of fresh dates for the city slip, admit card, and the examination itself. As per a report by Times of India, following the examination, candidates who qualify will move on to the counselling phase for admission into MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will oversee the counselling process for 50% of the All India Quota (AIQ) seats, while the rest will be managed by the respective state counselling authorities.

NEET-PG postponed, to be conducted in single shift after SC order
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on Monday announced the postponement of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduation (NEET-PG), which was earlier scheduled to be held on June 15, 2025. The move comes after a recent Supreme Court order that the exam be conducted in a single shift instead of two. While hearing a petition last week, the court directed NBEMS not to hold NEET-PG 2025 in two shifts, observing that such a format could create arbitrariness. The court emphasised the need for complete transparency and mandated that secure centres be identified and commissioned to ensure the fair conduct of the examination. In its notice dated June 2, NBEMS said the exam, conducted for admission to MS, MD and PG diploma courses, has been postponed to arrange for additional test centres and infrastructure. The proposal to hold the exam in two shifts had faced opposition from various quarters, with aspirants raising concerns that multiple shifts might lead to discrepancies due to potential variations in question paper difficulty levels, thereby affecting performance. According to reports, more than 242,000 candidates had registered for this year's exam. Those who qualify NEET-PG participate in the counselling process conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for 50 per cent of seats under the All India Quota (AIQ). The remaining seats are allotted through state-level counselling authorities. As per data from the Union Health Ministry, there are currently 74,000 postgraduate medical seats in India.

GMCH-32 PG medical admissions: Punjab and Haryana HC shuts door on domicile quota
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on May 27 dismissed a batch of four civil writ petitions, including Shubhamdeep Singh Kang vs Union Territory, Chandigarh and another, challenging the modalities for postgraduate (PG) medical admissions in Chandigarh. The bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sumeet Goel reinforced the Supreme Court's earlier ruling in Dr Tanvi Behl vs Shrey Goel, which declared domicile-based reservations for PG medical courses unconstitutional. The division bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sumeet Goel addressed the contentious issue of residence-based reservations for NEET PG admissions (MD/MS) 2024, following multiple legal challenges and clarification requests by the Union Territory (UT) Administration. The High Court held that admissions must strictly follow the Supreme Court's directive, which struck down residence-based quotas and mandated that state quota seats—beyond a reasonable number of institutional preference seats—be filled based on merit in the all-India examination. The High Court affirmed the binding nature of the apex court's ruling on the current admission cycle. The court also rejected the UT Administration's attempt to convert remaining UT Pool state quota seats into Institutional Preference Pool seats for the third round of counselling, as proposed in a public notice dated April 9, 2025. The administration argued that the conversion would prevent disruption in the admission process and avoid exceeding the 50% cap on the All India Quota (AIQ). However, the High Court found the move inconsistent with the Supreme Court's order, observing: 'The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Shrey Goel SC judgment had afforded protection to the students who had already received the benefit of reservation on the residence/domicile basis and were either undergoing or had successfully completed their course.' Regarding petitioner Shubhamdeep Singh Kang—who had surrendered his allotted seat after the first and second counselling rounds in anticipation of a better option—the court held that he did not qualify for protection under the Supreme Court's ruling. The bench noted: 'In light of such voluntary act of surrender, it cannot be said that the petitioner was pursuing the course in question, thereby, failing to be within the foundational basis for protection contemplated under Shrey Goel SC judgment.' The court directed the UT administration to conduct admissions in accordance with the Shrey Goel judgment and the Supreme Court's order dated March 24, 2025, which dismissed the UT's clarification application with costs of Rs 10,000. The High Court's ruling reinforces a merit-based approach, ensuring that vacant seats are filled strictly on NEET PG rankings, not regional preferences. This decision is expected to have wide-ranging implications for PG medical admissions in Chandigarh, particularly for the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Sector-32B, where the contested seats are located. What does this ruling mean? The Punjab and Haryana High Court's ruling carries several key implications: 1. End of domicile-based reservations: The court reaffirmed the Supreme Court's position that residence-based reservations for PG medical courses are unconstitutional. This levels the playing field for all NEET-qualified candidates across India, regardless of their residential status in Chandigarh. 2. Merit-based admissions: With the UT Pool (previously reserved for domicile candidates) no longer valid, all remaining seats must now be filled based solely on NEET PG 2024 merit rankings. 3. Protection for existing students: Students who were admitted under the old domicile-based system and are currently pursuing or have completed their courses will retain protection. However, new applicants—like Kang, who relinquished his seat—are not eligible, underlining the importance of continuity in education. 4. Rejection of administrative workarounds: The court's dismissal of the UT Administration's attempt to convert UT Pool seats into institutional preference seats underscores that any effort to circumvent the Supreme Court's directive will not be permitted. 5. Impact on future admissions: For the 2024–25 session and beyond, this ruling could shape admission policies in other states or UTs with similar systems. It may also reduce litigation by clarifying that vacant seats must revert to the merit-based AIQ, provided the 50% cap is not breached.
