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 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?

Chandigarh: Students welcome one-shift NEET PG exam, fear delay
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025 has been postponed indefinitely, leaving over 2 lakh aspiring medical students across the country in limbo. The exam, initially scheduled for June 15, will now be held on a later date, following a Supreme Court order issued on May 30. The postponement has been made to make arrangements for holding NEET (PG) '25 in one shift. While many students have welcomed the move to hold the exam in a single shift to ensure fairness, the delay is causing significant stress and tension. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) announced the postponement on Monday, stating that it was necessary to make arrangements for a single shift exam this year with more efficient infrastructure and security systems. Manav, a first-time NEET PG aspirant, said, 'It is a big relief that the exam is happening in a single shift. We are quite happy about it. But the indefinite postponement of the exam causes a serious harm to our morale as we are directionless for now. It is a distressing scenario to be in.' 'Conducting the exam in one shift would eliminate the discrepancies that arose in previous years, where the difficulty levels between the two shifts often varied. Two shifts bring in discrepancies,' he added. Avijit, a second-time aspirant from Panchkula, said, 'Last year, my exam was in the second shift and I found it to be more difficult than the first shift. The postponement has not impacted me much because I went through a similar situation last year. I was tense last year, especially when they postponed the exam just hours before it was supposed to begin.' A graduate from GMCH-32, Chandigarh, on condition of anonymity, said, 'I have mixed emotions regarding the postponement of the exam. Since the exam date and centre are not in my hands, I am focusing on my preparation.' Dr Vishnu Jinja, a core member of the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA), said, 'The decision to hold the exam in a single shift is going to benefit students. In double shifts, the difficulty level of the exam remains subjective, but with a single shift exam, all students will be assessed on the same level with more transparency in the system.'

NEET PG 2025 postponed: Why did NBEMS defer the medical entrance exam just weeks before the date?
Why did NBEMS postpone NEET PG 2025? The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025, initially slated for June 15, has been postponed by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). This decision follows a directive from the Supreme Court of India , emphasising the need for a single-shift examination to ensure fairness and transparency. In response to concerns about potential disparities in difficulty levels between different exam shifts, the Supreme Court mandated that NEET PG 2025 be conducted in a single shift. The Court criticised the two-shift format as arbitrary and unfair, highlighting that normalisation processes cannot guarantee absolute fairness. The directive aims to provide all candidates with an equal opportunity under uniform conditions. Logistical challenges for single shift exam Transitioning to a single-shift examination presents significant logistical hurdles for NBEMS. Conducting the exam in one session requires the identification and preparation of approximately 900 additional test centres nationwide. This expansion necessitates enhanced security measures, including the deployment of signal jammers and advanced surveillance systems. To maintain the integrity of the examination process, NBEMS requires more time to arrange for the test centres. NEET PG 2025 revised schedule awaited Given the extensive preparations required to implement the Supreme Court's directive, NBEMS has postponed NEET PG 2025 until further notice. The board is actively working to finalize the revised schedule. As of now, NBEMS has not declared a new date for NEET PG 2025. The board has stated that a revised schedule — including exam date, admit card release, and city intimation slips — will be announced soon on its official websites: While the examination has been postponed, candidates are advised to continue their preparation diligently. Staying updated through official NBEMS channels is advisable for timely information regarding the rescheduled dates and related announcements. Ready to navigate global policies?
