SC Clears NBE Plea to Conduct NEET-PG in One Shift on Aug 3

Court Clarifies No Additional Time Will Be Granted to Identify Test Centres

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the National Board of Examination (NBE) to conduct on August 3, the NEET-PG 2025 exam in one shift in line with the top court's directions from last week.

A bench of justices PK Mishra and AG Masih, which initially questioned the over two-month window sought by the NBE for holding the examination, passed the order after an application was moved by NBEMS citing its inability to hold the examination in a single shift on the previously scheduled date of June 15.

The bench noted that the board's plea which said that further time will be required to identify over 1,000 centres to hold the online examination in a single shift appeared to be "bonafide".

The court further clarified that no additional time will be granted.
