NBE seeks SC nod to conduct NEETPG exam on Aug 3
TIMES NEWS NETWORK 4.6.2025
New Delhi : The National Board of Examination (NBE) has moved Supreme Court seeking to conduct the NEET-PG 2025 exam on August 3, days after the apex court directed it to conduct the exam in one shift instead of two shifts.
NEET-PG is an entrance examination conducted by the NBE to determine eligibility for admission to postgraduate medical programmes in govt and private medical colleges across the country. Earlier, the exam was scheduled to be held on June 15 in two shifts which was challenged in the court. The NBE’s plea, among other things, sought the top court’s “permission to schedule the NEET PG 2025 on August 3, 2025 which is the earliest possible available date given by its technology partner, i.e., M/s Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. (TCS) in accordance with the directions passed by this vide order dated May 30, 2025”.
“TCS was requested to confirm the availability of the adequate number of test centers, feasible for conducting the exam in a single shift on June 15, 2025. TCS responded vide email dated May 30, 2025 at 3.52 pm stating that the time available was insufficient to hold the said exam in a single shift on the scheduled exam date, i.e., June 15, 2025,” the NBE said. TCS in a subsequent email on June 2 elaborated on the reasons for not being able to conduct the exam in a single shift and indicated the earliest possible date to conduct the exam was August 3, 2025.
Referring to some of the reasons cited by TCS, the NBE said there was a need to augment the number of centers in more cities, approximately 250 plus cities requiring the application to be reopened for all the candidates.
