NEET PG 2025 Exam Date to Remain the Same: PIB Clarifies False Notification.

NEET PG 2025 Exam Date: In a statement issued on its official X account on Friday, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) clarified that the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025 “has not been postponed till August 17”, contrary to claims made in a viral post.

The NEET PG misinformation had confused candidates preparing for the competitive medical entrance exam.

In its clarification, PIB said that the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), responsible for conducting NEET PG, has not issued any announcement regarding the change in the exam schedule.

National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences has already released the official exam date, confirming that NEET PG 2025 will be held on June 15, 2025. The exam will be conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode and will be held in two shifts like last year.

Though the exam date has been confirmed, many candidates have expressed dissatisfaction over the continuation of the two-shift model. Students have been demanding a return to the earlier single-shift format, citing possible discrepancies in the difficulty of the question paper and concerns over the fairness of the normalisation process.

The two-shift model was implemented for the first-time last year, replacing the traditional single-session format. Although NBEMS implemented a normalisation mechanism to equalise performance across shifts, it led to widespread concerns and debate. At the moment, there is no indication that NBEMS intends to modify the exam format or respond to requests for standardized shifts.
