Postponement of NEET PG 2025 Announced According to Supreme Court Decision; New Date to be Revealed Promptly
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced a change in the schedule for the NEET PG 2025 exam. Originally scheduled for June 23, 2025, the exam has been rescheduled to August 3, 2025, in a single shift from 9 AM to 12:30 PM.
This decision comes after a Supreme Court directive issued on May 30, 2025, mandating that the exam be conducted in a single session to ensure transparency and fairness. The postponement was due to concerns over the exam being conducted in multiple shifts.
The revised schedule is designed to uphold exam fairness and ensure adequate infrastructure is in place for all candidates. Over 1.5 lakh candidates appear for the NEET PG exam every year, and the increased number of centres will accommodate this large number of participants.
Candidates were given a window from June 13 to June 17, 2025, to reselect their preferred exam city on a first-come, first-served basis. The admit cards for the exam are set to be released on July 31, 2025.
Key dates following the rescheduling:
- **June 13–17**: Exam city re-selection window - **June 20–22**: Application correction window - **July 31**: Admit card release - **August 3, 2025**: NEET PG exam in a single session - **By September 3, 2025**: Results expected
Candidates are advised to stay updated with official announcements from NBEMS and monitor the official NBEMS website for updates. It is also crucial for candidates to avoid believing in rumors or unofficial information circulating on social media.
The NEET PG exam is the national-level entrance examination for admission into MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses in India. The exam is conducted annually by NBEMS under the guidance of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
The Supreme Court's intervention is being seen as a positive move by many aspirants due to concerns about the transparency of the examination system. NBEMS will release an official update soon regarding the new date. New admit cards will likely be issued once the revised exam date is confirmed.
