NEET PG 2025 to be held on June 15: NBE

There are many possible reasons why NExT may not be held this year.

Another thing is no official clarification of NExT which indicates it will be held next year probably. Recently NBE announced NEET PG 2025 exam date, i.e June 15. In an official notification, the exam conducting body said the exam will be held in two shifts on the said date.
