The Supreme Court on Friday directed that the NEET-PG 2025 examination, scheduled for June 15, be conducted in a single shift instead of two.
A bench led by Justice Vikram Nath, along with Justices Sanjay Kumar and N. V. Anjaria, observed that holding the exam in two shifts could lead to arbitrariness. “Any two question papers can never be said to be having an identical level of difficulty or ease,” the bench noted.
The order came in response to a plea challenging the official notification that had earlier announced the exam would be held in two shifts. The Court directed the authorities to make the necessary arrangements to conduct the examination in one shift and to ensure full transparency in the process.
