Supreme Court Directs NEET-PG 2025 Exam To Be Conducted In One Shift
The Supreme Court has directed that the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Post Graduate (NEET-PG) 2025 examination, which is scheduled on June 15 this year, be conducted in a single shift instead of two shifts.
The Court directed the concerned authorities to make arrangements for holding the exam in one shift and to ensure that complete transparency is maintained.
The three-Judge bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sanjay Kumar, and Justice N.V. Anjaria observed, "Any two question papers can never be said to be having an identical level of difficulty or ease."
The Bench further said that holding examination in two shifts creates 'arbitrariness'.
The Apex Court passed the Order, while hearing a plea challenging a notification on holding the NEET-PG 2025 examination in two shifts.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had agreed to an early hearing of a plea challenging a decision of the National Board of Examination (NBE) to hold the NEET-PG exam in two shifts.
The plea, challenging the conduct of NEET-PG exam in two shifts, said that it has the potential for unfairness due to varying difficulty levels between shifts. It was filed by one Aditi and others.
