NEET PG 2025 postponed: Why did NBEMS defer the medical entrance exam just weeks before the date?
03 Jun 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, emphasizing the need for a single-shift examination to ensure fairness and transparency. In response to concerns about potential disparities in difficulty vels between different exam shifts, the Supreme Court mandated that NEET PG 2025 be conducted in a single shift. The Court criticized 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.
