Overview

• Originally scheduled for June 15, the NEET PG 2025 exam has been postponed indefinitely while the NBEMS prepares to implement a single-shift format.
• The NBEMS has proposed August 3 as the new exam date in an affidavit to the Supreme Court and is awaiting the court’s final approval.
• Implementing a single-shift exam requires nationwide coordination across more than 1,000 centres, involving over 60,000 staff, upgraded infrastructure and law enforcement support.
• The shift to a single session aims to eliminate past discrepancies in difficulty levels between different exam shifts and ensure a uniform assessment for all candidates.
• The indefinite delay has left over 200,000 aspiring postgraduates relieved by the fairness measures but anxious about the unclear timeline and disruption to their exam preparation.
