Overview

• On June 6, the Supreme Court approved NBE’s request to postpone NEET-PG 2025 to August 3 in a single shift and ruled out any further delays.
• The May 30 bench order mandating a one-shift exam followed a United Doctors Front petition challenging the fairness of multi-shift testing.
• NBE told the court that the shift to a single session meant doubling exam centres from around 450 to 1,000 across 250 cities and mobilizing nearly 60,000 personnel.
• Tata Consultancy Services confirmed that August 3 was the earliest feasible date after assessing centre availability, technical infrastructure and security protocols.
• The ruling aims to ensure transparency and equal conditions for over 240,000 medical graduates awaiting postgraduate entrance testing.
