NEET PG revised exam date expected to release soon: Check details here
NEET PG revised exam date 2025: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) will release the fresh dates for the postgraduate medical entrance exam shortly on the official website. The NEET PG exam, initially scheduled for June 15, was postponed following a Supreme Court directive mandating that the examination be held in a single shift. The NBEMS postponed the exam to initiate large-scale logistical arrangements to comply with the court’s ruling.
Supreme Court calls for single-shift exam to ensure fairness
The decision comes after the Supreme Court of India strongly objected to NEET PG being conducted in two shifts, labelling the practice as “arbitrary” and “unfair.” The Court underscored that normalisation mechanisms used to balance scores between shifts fail to ensure absolute fairness, particularly in a high-stakes examination that determines postgraduate medical admissions nationwide.Citing the need for uniformity and transparency, the apex court directed that NEET PG 2025 be held in a single session, providing equal conditions for all examinees.
NBEMS faces logistical overhaul
In light of the Court’s directive, NBEMS is now faced with the monumental task of reorganising the national-level exam. Conducting NEET PG in a single shift requires the addition of nearly 900 new test centres across India.This expansion will also necessitate robust security measures, including the deployment of signal jammers and enhanced surveillance to maintain exam integrity.According to NBEMS, the extensive operational overhaul requires additional time, prompting the indefinite postponement of the examination.
Revised schedule expected soon
While the exact date for the rescheduled NEET PG 2025 exam remains pending, NBEMS has assured that a revised timetable will be published soon on its official portals — nbe.edu.in and natboard.edu.in. This includes updates on the exam date, city intimation slips, and admit card release.The city intimation slips, which were originally slated to be released on June 2, have also been deferred.
