The much-anticipated NEET PG exam 2025, originally scheduled for June 15, has been postponed. This decision came after a Supreme Court order mandated that the exam must be conducted in a single shift instead of two. This significant change aims to ensure fairness and eliminate any discrepancies caused by the earlier two-shift format.
Why Was the NEET PG Exam Postponed?
The Supreme Court expressed concerns over the two-shift system, calling it arbitrary and unfair. The court observed that normalization processes could not fully guarantee equity among candidates who took the exam in different shifts. To address this, the court ordered that the NEET PG exam be held in a single shift going forward.
Challenges in Implementing the Single Shift
Conducting the NEET PG exam in one shift for thousands of candidates across the country is a logistical challenge. To accommodate all aspirants in a single sitting, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) must set up nearly 900 additional test centers nationwide. These centers will require enhanced security measures such as signal jammers and high-end surveillance to uphold the exam’s integrity.
What This Means for Candidates
Due to these preparations, the NEET PG exam 2025 has been postponed until further notice. NBEMS is working on finalizing a new date and will release updated schedules, admit cards, and exam center information on its official portals. Candidates should keep checking the NBEMS websites regularly for the latest announcements.

Impact on Medical Admissions
