NEET PG 2025 Postponed to August 3 After Supreme Court Direction
NEET PG 2025 Rescheduled to August 3
The National Board of Examinations (NBE) has announced that the NEET PG 2025 examination has been postponed to August 3, 2025, following a directive from the Supreme Court.
Background and Reasons for the Postponement
The Supreme Court had earlier directed the NBE to conduct the examination in a single shift instead of two. In light of this directive, the NBE sought permission to postpone the exam, citing logistical challenges. The Board argued that conducting the exam in one shift would require double the number of exam centers, which would necessitate additional time for preparation, including identification and assessment of security parameters.
Key Implications and Court’s Decision
The NBE’s counsel highlighted the complexities involved in rescheduling the exam, including extensive measures required to prepare the technological infrastructure of the centers, in collaboration with their technological partner, TCS. The Supreme Court acceded to the NBE’s request, allowing the exam to be held on August 3, 2025. The Court’s order noted that no further extension would be granted.
Future Developments and Takeaways
The rescheduling of the NEET PG 2025 examination to August 3 brings relief to candidates who were anxiously waiting for the exam dates. However, it also underscores the importance of adequate preparation and infrastructure for large-scale examinations. As the exam approaches, candidates and the NBE will need to ensure that all logistical and technological arrangements are in place to facilitate a smooth and secure examination process.
