The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) PG 2025 has been postponed after the Supreme Court has directed the National Board of Examination to hold the exam in a single shift. The decision has been made to ensure complete transparency in the exam.
Many candidates had earlier raised concerns about the continued use of the two-shift exam format in NEET PG. They were calling for a return to the traditional single-shift model, citing worries about uneven question paper difficulty and the fairness of the score normalisation process.
A plea was filed in the Supreme Court challenging the conduct of the NEET-PG exam in two shifts, argues that it could lead to unfairness due to varying difficulty levels between shifts. It sought a directive for the NBE to hold the exam in a single shift to ensure a “just, fair, reasonable, and equitable” competition for all candidates.
The exam was slated to held on June 15 but now stands deferred. The revised date will be notified shortly, the NBE has stated. The board has added it would arrange more test centres and required infrastructure to conduct the exam smoothly.
The exam city slip was slated to out today, June 2 and the admit cards were scheduled to be released on June 11, but that too stands postponed. The revised dates are expected to be announced soon.
The NEET PG exam will be conducted in a computer-based test mode (CBT) in English only. It will consist of 200 multiple-choice questions, totaling 800 marks. The exam is divided into five sections, each containing 40 questions. Candidates will have a total of 3 hours and 30 minutes (210 minutes) to complete the exam. Each section is timed, and once a section is completed, students must proceed to the next section and cannot return to the previous one. The NEET PG will cover questions from 19 MBBS subjects, which are categorized into pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical subjects.
