NEET PG 2025: Supreme Court's Directives on Exam Format and Seat Allocation

 1. Two-Shift Exam Controversy:

The National Board of Examinations (NBE) plans to conduct NEET PG 2025 in two shifts on June 15, 2025. This decision has sparked concerns among candidates about potential disparities in exam difficulty and the fairness of score normalization. A petition challenging this format has been filed in the Supreme Court, with a hearing requested before June 2, 2025, as admit cards are scheduled for release on that date.


2. Supreme Court's Stance on Seat Blocking:
On May 23, 2025, the Supreme Court addressed the malpractice of seat blocking in postgraduate medical admissions. The court mandated the publication of raw scores, answer keys, and normalization formulas for NEET-PG exams to enhance transparency. Additionally, it emphasized strict penalties for those engaging in seat blocking, aiming to ensure fair opportunities for all candidates.

3. Expansion of PG Seats:
The National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) plans to increase postgraduate medical seats from the current 17,000 to 25,000 by 2030. This initiative aims to achieve a 1:1 undergraduate-to-postgraduate seat ratio, aligning with global standards and improving access to medical education.
