Supreme Court Directs NEET-PG 2025 to Be Held in a Single Shift

New Delhi, May 30 – The Supreme Court of India has ordered that the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for Postgraduate courses (NEET-PG) 2025, scheduled for June 15, must be conducted in a single shift instead of two. The directive was issued on Friday by a bench headed by Justice Vikram Nath, which also included Justices Sanjay Kumar and N. V. Anjaria.

As per agency report, the court emphasized that conducting the examination in two separate sessions could lead to discrepancies and arbitrary outcomes. The bench observed that the difficulty level of two different question papers can never be truly identical, thus creating potential unfairness for candidates.

The court further directed the concerned authorities to make necessary arrangements to ensure that the exam is held in one session and that complete transparency is maintained throughout the process. The decision came while hearing a petition that challenged the notification to conduct NEET-PG 2025 in two shifts.

This ruling aims to maintain fairness and uniformity in one of the country’s most competitive medical entrance exams.
