Will NBE Conduct NEET PG 2025 Exam in Single Shift?
National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Post-Graduation 2025 ( NEET PG )
Counselling - 16 Jan '26 - 26 Jan '26
NBE has yet to clear its stand, stating the decision of NEET PG 2025 exam being held in single or double shift after supreme Court directed it to conduct NEET PG 2025 exam in single shift. The court believed the two shift exam has potential for unfairness and inconsistencies. The exam is scheduled on June 15, 2025.
NEET PG 2025 in single shift?
Will or will not NEET PG 2025 be held in single shift? This is the focal point of discussion among candidates after supreme Court’s order. National Board of Examinations (NBE) has yet not issued an official notification, stating NEET PG 2025 exam in single shift. As the exam is scheduled on June 15 making all arrangements in around 10-12 days look little tough. On May 30, Supreme Court had directed NBE to make arrangements to conduct the exam in single shift to ensure complete transparency. "Any two question papers can never be said to be having an identical level of difficulty or ease," the top court said while hearing a petition, demanding single shift exam.
