Supreme Court Upholds NEET-PG 2025 Exam Schedule Amid Controversy

The Supreme Court permitted the National Board of Examination to conduct the NEET-PG 2025 exam on August 3 in a single shift, following guidelines issued by the court. Despite initial objections about timing, the court found the proposed date and reasons valid, emphasizing no further extensions.

The Supreme Court has granted permission for the National Board of Examination (NBE) to conduct the NEET-PG 2025 exam on August 3, in compliance with the court's directives.

Initially skeptical about the NBE's request for over two months to organize the exam, a bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Augustine George Masih found the reasoning behind the August 3 date justifiable.

The court stressed that no further delays would be tolerated. The NBE, adhering to a May 30 order, noted the necessity of around 1,000 centers to facilitate a single-shift examination, emphasizing logistical complexities.
