The Supreme Court’s hearing of the plea of the National Board of Education for Medical Sciences has been postponed. The hearing was supposed to take place on 13th September 2025. However, as of yet, the hearing has been postponed by two weeks.
The concerns of the Supreme Court and NBEMS mainly lay with the lack of transparency and accountability with regards to the NEET PG examination and its answer key. A petition was raised earlier this year by students with regard to the board's lack of transparency with the NEET PG answer key.
What is the NEET PG Supreme Court Case?
Earlier this year, several students filed a petition against the NBEMS for their practices with regards to the NEET UG and PG examinations. This came after the board had promised to release the answer key for the NEET PG exam but later backtracked to not release the answer key as well as only provide question IDs instead. This came after the building of frustrations against the board for their overall lack of transparency. These ambiguous practices as well as others acts such as the changing of exam patterns at the last moment without warning have further frustrated students.
Furthermore, arguments were also raised that the board’s refusal to release the question paper for the exam violated Article 14 and Article 21 of the Indian Constitution.
NEET PG Counselling Details
The registration portal for the NEET PG counselling process is expected to begin later this month. Students will be able to register for the counselling process through the official NEET PG website.
Earlier this month, the NEET PG AIQ 50% merit list was released. Only those students who appeared on the merit list will be allowed to take part in the counselling process for the NEET PG examination. For students who were unable to make it to the merit list, they will still have opportunities to participate in the counselling process for the exam through their respective state quota’s reserved medical seats.
