NEET PG 2025 Exam on August 3, SC Approves NBE's Date Extension Request
Last Updated: The Supreme Court has permitted the NEET PG 2025 exam to be held on August 3, accepting the NBE's request for more time after directing it to be conducted in a single shift. The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to conduct the NEET-PG 2025 exam on August 3, stating it was satisfied that the reasons cited by the board for the proposed date were bona fide. This comes after the apex court, in its May 30 order, had disallowed the conduct of the exam in two shifts and directed that the examination be held in a single shift only. Following this, the NBE had sought additional time to restructure the process accordingly, which the court has now approved. On May 30, A bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sanjay Kumar, and Justice N.K. Anjaria passed the order while hearing a batch of petitions challenging the NBE's decision to conduct NEET-PG 2025 in two shifts. '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," the Court observed in its order. Last year, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) announced the NEET-PG results on August 23. Shortly after, numerous candidates raised concerns about discrepancies, claiming that flawed normalisation in the multi-shift exam had resulted in unexpectedly low ranks. Many aspirants compared their responses with unofficial answer keys released by coaching institutes and highlighted inconsistencies, which further intensified dissatisfaction with the multi-shift format. NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate) is a national-level entrance exam in India conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE). It is held for admission to MD (Doctor of Medicine), MS (Master of Surgery), and PG Diploma courses in medical colleges across India. First Published: June 06, 2025, 12:06 IST

NEET PG 2025: Supreme Court To Hear Plea On Friday Over Proposed Exam Date
The Supreme Court will hear the National Board of Examinations' (NBE) application on Friday, seeking approval to conduct the NEET PG 2025 exam on August 3. The exam, originally scheduled for June 15, was postponed after the top court raised concerns over its proposed two-shift format. The NBE has approached the top court requesting permission to hold the entrance test in a single shift on the new proposed date. This move follows the court's earlier intervention last Friday, when it objected to the exam being held in two sessions. The Supreme Court had observed that holding the exam in two shifts could lead to discrepancies in difficulty levels, which may unfairly impact candidates. The bench stressed that a uniform examination must be conducted in a single session across the country to ensure fairness and transparency. The court had directed NBE to make logistical arrangements to hold the exam in one shift. It had also clarified that if the Board required additional time to implement this direction, it could return to the court seeking more time. The case arises from a petition filed by the United Doctors Front, which challenged the NBE's decision to hold the postgraduate medical entrance exam in two shifts. The petition argued that such a format could create unequal conditions for candidates and demanded that the exam be conducted in one shift nationwide. In the previous hearing, the court had issued a notice on the petition and sought a response from the NBE, leading to the current hearing scheduled for this week.

NEET PG 2025 not before this date of August? Here's what NBEMS told the Supreme Court
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has informed the Supreme Court that it will not be able to conduct the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025 before August 3, according to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Supreme Court advocate Satyam Singh Rajpoot. Rajpoot, who represents the United Doctors Front (UDF), stated in his post that NBEMS, in its affidavit to the court, mentioned August 3 as the earliest feasible date to conduct the exam in a single-shift format across all centres, given the massive scale of operations involved. Here is the X post made by advocate Satyam Singh Rajpoot: This proposal by NBEMS comes in after the Supreme Court's ruling to scrap the two-shift format and conduct the NEET PG exam in a single shift owing to fairness concerns. Why did SC bar two-shift format for NEET PG? The Supreme Court's ruling came after multiple petitions were filed by medical aspirants and the UDF. The petitioners argued that a two-shift format could lead to discrepancies in difficulty levels across question sets, undermining the fairness and credibility of the exam. Represented by SC advocate Satyam Singh Rajpoot, UDF emphasized that such a system would disadvantage candidates based solely on the shift they were assigned. Agreeing with these concerns, the Bench observed that conducting the exam in two shifts would be 'arbitrary' and that the principle of uniformity in evaluation would be violated. On May 30, the court formally directed NBEMS to conduct NEET PG 2025 in a single shift to uphold the integrity of the exam process. NBEMS suggests new date for NEET PG 2025 In compliance with the court's directive, NBEMS has proposed a new exam date. The board explained that rescheduling was essential to make arrangements for conducting the test in a single shift for all aspirants across the country. Conducting NEET PG in a single shift is a massive undertaking, requiring the coordination of over 1,000 exam centers in more than 250 cities and the deployment of around 60,000 personnel including invigilators, technical staff, and security. NBEMS stated that maintaining exam integrity while accommodating a large number of candidates in a synchronized, single session necessitates significant preparation. It also stressed that ensuring adequate facilities, safety protocols, and smooth delivery of question papers nationwide takes time and cannot be rushed. The Supreme Court is currently reviewing NBEMS's affidavit and is expected to take a final call on the proposed date. Meanwhile, the board has urged candidates to keep checking its official website for further announcements related to the new examination schedule. Ready to navigate global policies?
