The National Board of Examination has submitted a request to the Supreme Court to reschedule the NEET PG 2025 exam to August 3, 2025. Earlier, the exam was scheduled for June 15, however, on June 2, the Supreme Court ordered to conduct the exam in a single shift rather than in two shifts. Following this, the NBE had announced that the exam would be postponed.
In the application to SC, the NBE explained that August 3 is the earliest date available from its technology partner, TCS, to hold the exam in a single shift. According to TCS, the period between May 30 and June 15 was inadequate to organise the exam in a single shift, as this would require a greater number of exam centres across more cities and extensive hardware supply chain management.

Besides, the NEET PG 2025 application window will be reopened, giving candidates a fresh chance to choose their preferred test city. Once the new test city preferences are received, candidates will be reassigned to test centres. This entire process will take some time, the report stated.
“The hiring of the high volume of quality manpower, Training, and preparation of such high number of Manpower and conducting multiple dry runs and mocks with them would require considerable time,” the application added.
NBE also emphasised that NEET PG is a critical examination and preventing malpractices is a significant challenge that requires the collaboration of all law enforcement agencies. They mentioned the need for adequate time to arrange secure examination venues, sufficient compatible computer systems, three-layer power backup systems, network infrastructure, security software and hardware, skilled technical personnel, anti-cheating measures, surveillance systems, operational readiness of each test center, mock drills, load tests, and system audits.
