SC nod to reschedule NEET-PG exam
The Morning Standard
|June 07, 2025
THE Supreme Court on Friday allowed the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to hold the NEET-PG 2025 examination in a single shift on August 3 instead of in double shifts on June 15.
The court found "bona fide" the petitioner's plea filed on June 3 that it needs additional time to implement the SC's May 30 order disallowing a double-shift exam and asking the NBE to hold it in a single shift.
The bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Augustine George Masih said, "We are satisfied that the prayer for an extension of time to reschedule the exam on August 3 is bona fide."
Accordingly, the time allowed by our order dated May 30 is extended, and NBE is permitted to hold the exam on August 3, 2025. No further extension shall be granted.
