NEET PG 2025 Answer Key Release Hailed as Landmark for Transparency

The NBEMS will release NEET PG 2025 answer key for the first time. Move follows Supreme Court of India directive and is hailed as a victory for transparency.

NEET PG 2025 Exam was held on Aug 3, NEET PG Results declared on August 19

For the first time in the history of postgraduate medical entrance examinations, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) will release the answer key of NEET PG 2025 exam, a move celebrated as a major step towards transparency by students and activits. The NEET PG 2025 exam was held on August 3, 2025, in a single shift across 301 cities and 1,052 test centres, with more than 2.42 lakh candidates appearing. The NEET PG results were declared on August 19, 2025 by the agency.

What NBEMS Notice Says

The official notice issued by NBEMS dated August 21, 2025, mentioned: “NBEMS shall publish the answer key of NEET-PG 2025 on its website. Along with the correct answer key, the response marked by the candidates to respective questions asked in NEET-PG 2025 shall also be published.” The Examination Board has also made the recorded responses available in individual login accounts, giving candidates unprecedented access to their performance data.

Supreme Court’s Push for Transparency

This landmark decision comes in the backdrop of a Supreme Court of India's order issued on April 29, 2025, in which the Court directed the exam authority to “publish raw scores, answer keys and normalization formulae” to ensure fairness in high-stakes competitive examinations. The same order had rejected the controversial two-shift format used in 2024, ruling that the exam must be conducted in a single sitting to avoid discrepancies in difficulty levels. 

Reaction on Social Media

The move has been met with a wave of appreciation on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where #NEETPG trended throughout the day. RTI activist Dr. Vivek Pandey (@Vivekpandey21), who has long campaigned for greater transparency, wrote on X: “Big win for NEET PG aspirants! NBEMS finally releases the answer key for NEET PG 2025, a step towards transparency. This is what we’ve been fighting for! #NEETPG #Transparency.” His post was widely shared, reflecting the mood of thousands of doctors who had previously raised concerns over the opaque evaluation system.

Other aspirants echoed the sentiment.@drpraveenpsy posted: “NEETPG 2025 – First Impressions: Paper was easy to moderate… Huge props to NBE for releasing the answer key this time! A big win for transparency!”

Similarly, @bhatia_nachiket noted: “Hundreds of students faced a huge gap between expected marks and actual results. Releasing the answer key is the basic step every exam should follow. Kudos to NBE for listening!” Another user, @11GoGetter11, summed up the relief, writing: “When I see 1000s of young docs losing sleep over #NEETPG result, it blows my mind! Releasing the answer key is a game-changer. Now students can breathe easier. Well done, NBE!”

While the majority reaction is positive, some candidates are still pushing for full disclosure. Critics point out that while answer keys and recorded responses are now available, there remains a demand for detailed evaluation data. NBEMS, however, has clarified that “the questions, correct answer key and responses marked shall be displayed as per the sequence in Master set of Question Paper used for NEET-PG 2025.”
