When does the NEET PG 2025 registration begin and end?
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has officially started the NEET PG 2025 registration process today, April 17. The application window will open from 3 PM onwards on the official website — natboard.edu.in or nbe.edu.in.
Aspirants can submit their application forms till May 7, 2025, by 11:55 PM. It’s important to apply within the deadline to avoid last-minute glitches.
When will NEET PG 2025 be conducted?
The NEET PG 2025 exam is scheduled to be held on June 15, 2025. Like last year, the exam will be conducted in two computer-based shifts across centres in India. The results are expected to be announced by July 15, 2025.
What is the exam pattern and why is it controversial?
The two-shift exam format was first introduced in 2024, replacing the earlier single-shift pattern. This year too, NBEMS will continue with the dual-shift model, despite repeated appeals from students to bring back the old system.
Many aspirants believe that different question sets for each shift can create unequal difficulty levels, raising doubts about fairness. Though NBEMS uses a normalisation method to balance scores across shifts, students remain dissatisfied, citing lack of transparency.
So far, NBEMS has not addressed these concerns or announced any potential changes to the format.

What are students saying about the two-shift system?
The continued use of the two-shift model has sparked strong reactions from NEET PG aspirants. Students argue that the system creates unfair advantages or disadvantages, depending on the difficulty of the paper in each shift.
They have expressed concerns that normalisation cannot truly ensure fairness, especially when the paper difficulty varies. Many have urged the authorities to bring back the single-shift exam, which was used until 2023.
Even though last year’s exam followed a similar structure — with one shift in the morning (9 AM to 12:30 PM) and the other in the afternoon (3:30 PM to 7 PM) — the criticism continues. As of now, NBEMS has remained silent on whether these concerns will lead to any reform.
Is the NEET PG 2025 exam postponed?
No, the NEET PG 2025 exam has not been postponed. A viral fake tweet claimed the exam was delayed to August 17, but the Press Information Bureau (PIB) clarified that this was false information. The exam will be held as scheduled on June 15, 2025.
