The Supreme Court has allowed the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to hold the NEET-PG 2025 examination on August 3, 2025, in one shift. The exam was initially scheduled for June 15. A bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Augustine George Masih, which initially questioned the more than two months sought by the NBE for holding the examination, said the reasons cited for holding NEET-PG 2025 on August 3 appear to be bona fide. The Apex court, however, made it clear that no further time will be granted to NBE for holding NEET-PG 2025 examination.
Earlier, on May 30, the Supreme Court, while ordering the NBE to hold NEET-PG 2025 in a single shift instead of two shifts, had directed it to conduct the exam on the initially scheduled date of June 15, 2025. At the same time, the Court had allowed the NBE to seek an extension of time. Later, on June 3, the NBE filed an application seeking extension of time, saying that it needs to increase the number of exam centres twofold and that security arrangements have to be made.
SC says no further time will be granted to NBE for holding NEET PG 2025.
