Breaking: NEET PG 2025 Postponed, Revised date to be announced after SC Approval
New Delhi: The NEET PG 2025, scheduled for June 15 2025, has been POSTPONED and revised dates will be announced after approval from the Supreme Court of India.
The confirmation to this effect comes from recent notifications issued by the National Board of Examinations (NBE).
In the official notification, the NBE has stated:
"Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in W.P. No. 456/2025 (Aditi & Ors Versus National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences & Ors) has ordered that: “We, accordingly, direct the respondents to make necessary arrangements for holding the NEET-PG 2025, examination in one shift, duly ensuring that complete transparency is maintained and secure centres are identified and commissioned.”
"Accordingly, NBEMS will conduct NEET-PG 2025 in a Single Shift," it said.
On the deferment, the exam body declared:
"NEET-PG 2025 scheduled to be held on 15.06.2025 has been postponed to arrange for more Test Centres and required infrastructure. The revised date for conduct of NEET-PG 2025 shall be notified shortly."
"Accordingly, it is clarified that the revised dates for the conduct of the NEET-PG 2025 shall be notified once approval is obtained from the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in accordance with the order dated 30.05.2025."
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the doctors were demanding clarity from the NBE regarding the exam date for NEET PG 2025- the gateway to PG medical admissions in the country. Plenty of rumours and speculations were doing the rounds on social media after the Supreme Court verdict directing the NBE to conduct the NEET PG 2025 in a single shift.
"Holding the exam in two shifts leads to arbitrariness and cannot give a level playing field. The question papers in the two shifts can never be of the same difficulty level. Last year it may have been held in two shifts in the facts and circumstances of that stage. But the examining body ought to have considered making arrangements for holding examination in one shift," the Apex Court bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and NK Anjaria had observed.
