The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has scheduled the NEET PG 2025 exam for June 15, 2025, opting for a computer-based test (CBT) in two shifts. However, this decision has triggered widespread concern and criticism among medical aspirants, doctors, and activist groups, who fear potential discrepancies in scoring and fairness.

The announcement has drawn flak over concerns regarding the normalization process, an issue that led to significant protests and legal disputes during NEET PG 2024. Many in the medical community believe that holding the exam in multiple shifts creates unfair scoring variations and increases stress among candidates.

Medical professionals and organizations demand a single-shift exam

Several doctors and medical associations have expressed strong opposition to the two-shift format, emphasizing the need for a uniform evaluation process. They argue that a single-shift exam would ensure equal difficulty levels for all candidates, preventing any potential biases in the scoring process.

A leading medical organization has officially written to the authorities, urging them to reconsider the two-shift format and conduct NEET PG 2025 in a single session to avoid discrepancies and legal complications. Some critics have also pointed out that if the government can implement One Nation, One Election, it should also be capable of conducting One Nation, One Exam to maintain consistency and fairness in national-level examinations.

FAIMA and other groups oppose two-shift format

Medical organizations have raised concerns regarding the alleged malpractices and legal battles witnessed in previous years due to the normalization process. They have stated that a single-shift NEET PG exam would help prevent unnecessary disputes and ensure transparency in the evaluation process.

Calls for transparency in the NEET PG process

Many in the medical community have also called for greater transparency in the examination process. Several professionals have suggested that NBEMS should release the question paper and correct answers post-exam to ensure accountability and eliminate any doubts regarding the fairness of the evaluation system.

With growing pressure from the medical community, aspirants are hoping for an intervention from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and NBEMS to reconsider the decision and conduct the NEET PG 2025 exam in a single shift. However, as of now, there has been no official response from NBEMS regarding a possible change in the exam schedule.
