The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced that the NEET PG 2025 exam will be postponed following the order from the Supreme Court to conduct the NEET Exam in a single shift instead of two separate shifts. NEET PG 2025 is a medical entrance exam conducted by NBEMS in India. Medical students who are aspiring to get into programs like MD, MS, etc., write this exam.

But the Supreme Court has directed NBEMS to conduct the NEET PG 2025 exam in a single shift using a common question paper to ensure fairness and transparency.
