NEET PG 2025 Outrage: Medicos Flood Social Media Over Double-Shift Exam After Single-Shift Plea Rejected
The NEET PG 2025 information brochure and registration link are now available at natboard.edu.in. In the meantime, doctors across the country shared their disappointment owing to the rejection of the plea for a single-shift NEET PG 2025 exam by NBE.
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has rejected the plea seeking the NEET PG 2025 exam in a single shift. Reportedly, several doctors urged NBE to reconsider the decision to conduct National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Post-Graduation (NEET-PG). However, the board has rejected the request through an email, as shared by Dr Lakshya Mittal.
Dr Mittal took to the social media platform 'X' formerly Twitter, sharing the rejection of the request, saying, “When Hon’ble @PMOIndia envisions One Nation, One Election, why not One Nation, One NEET-PG Shift?” Ever since the social media post circulated, it has gained attention and traction from students and stakeholders.
The demand for NEET PG 2025 in a single shift has witnessed outrage across the country after the NBE's announcement to conduct NEET PG 2025 in two shifts. The doctors, right from the announcement, have been demanding a single shift exam in order to avoid the inconsistency and increase the transparency of the examination.
"The candidates shall not be able to exercise the choice of shift (Morning or Afternoon) in which they shall be allowed to take the examination. The allotment of the shifts to the candidates will be done by NBEMS purely randomly," the NBE stated.

NEET PG 2025: Social Media Flooded with Outrage
Dr Vivek Pandey, a medical activist, shared, NEET PG 2025 in two shifts is unfair. Normalisation creates discrepancies & stress for aspirants. Demand a SINGLE shift exam for transparency & equal opportunity.
On the other hand, the All India Doctors Association requested the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to reconsider the NEET PG double shift decision saying, "We are requesting @MoHFW_INDIA Mr. @JPNadda ji, to conduct the @NEETPG2025 in a single shift, so that every #NEETPG aspirant should receive the questions (CBT) of the same difficulty level. We are against the conduct of #NEETPG2025 in two shifts, due to a lack of transparency."
In the meantime, another social media account, Eilene Basu, took a dig at the NEET PG normalisation process, highlighting the complication of the formula.
