Hold NEET-PG in one sitting, SC tells board 31.05.2025
New Delhi : Supreme Court Friday directed the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to conduct the NEETPG exam in one sitting for all 2.4 lakh candidates instead of the scheduled test in two shifts in 900 centres across India on June 15.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sanjay Kumar and N V Anjaria said it was not ready to accept that the body conducting the examination could not find enough centres to accommodate all candidates in one shift. “Holding the examination in two shifts is arbitrary and does not allow candidates to have the same question paper. Any two different question papers will vary in their difficulty levels,” the bench said.
The SC said normalisation of marks could be adopted only in exceptional circumstances and not routinely year after year.

30% Posts To Be Filled By Biz Experts And Ex-faculty

Chennai : The Tamil Nadu higher education department has asked state universities to hire retired faculty members and industry experts to fill the existing vacancies. “The Secretary to govt stated that 30% of teaching posts in universities shall be filled using retired professors. He suggested that the agenda for the same shall be placed before the syndicate for its approval,” according to the meeting minutes of registrars of all state universities with higher education secretary that took place on May 15.
Of the 22 state universities, many, including the University of Madras, are experiencing more than 50% vacancies in teaching and non-teaching posts. Educationists have been demanding that these vacancies be filled to revive research, teaching, and learning in the state varsities. “It was a suggestion to fill vacancies with 10% retired professors, 10% professors of practice, and 10% with foreign faculty members.
It was up to the state universities whether to implement this suggestion or not,” higher education secretary C Samayamoorthy said. “These posts are not permanent. They will be tenured posts for a year or two. All state universities are facing a staff crunch. It will help universities to retain quality faculty members even after retirement while allowing them to employ industry experts and foreign researchers,” he added.
In the registrars’ meeting, the higher education secretary also instructed reducing the period of vacation given to university faculty members from two months to one month. It was also suggested to refrain from getting the list of external examiners and foreign examiners for PhD evaluation from the guides of the projects. The meeting also discussed merging departments that have poor enrolment and winding up such courses.
