NEET PG 2025 Exam Date Update (Postponed): August 3 Likely As New Date

The NEET PG exam date has been postponed due to the Supreme Court’s Order for a change in exam shift format. The SC ordered NBEMS to conduct the exam in a single shift, whereas before, it was conducted in two different shifts. 

Ever since the Supreme Court’s order, a possible new date for NEET PG 2025 examination has been the topic of discussion among the medical student community. The new exam date might likely be the 3rd of August, which will be conducted in a single shift. Earlier the student community expected the exam to be conducted in the last week of June, as the exam got postponed. 

But now, as per the latest sources, an application filed by the NBEMS seeking permission to conduct the exam in a single shift on the 3rd of August, 2025, is filed. The decision comes after M/s Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. (TCS), which is the technology partner of NBEMS, suggested it, since it will require some time to make the necessary changes in accordance with the Court’s order.

NEET PG 2025 Important Information

Why Was NEET PG 2025 Postponed?

The decision by NBEMS to postpone the NEET PG 2025 examination came because of the Supreme Court’s order to change the exam shift format. According to the court, the previous two shift format created arbitrariness as the two question papers differed in their level of difficulty. 

Upon this order for change, NBEMS consulted with their technology partner (TCS) which informed them that making the necessary changes in order to conduct the examination on the previous set date (15th of June) will not be possible. This is due to the fact that to conduct the exam in accordance with the changes, it has to be held in more than 250 cities and will require 1,000+ exam centers as compared to the previously planned 448 centers and 195 cities. 

So as a result, NBEMS decided to postpone the exam date in order to make the necessary changes to accommodate a single shift format.
