New Delhi, May 4 (IANS) The Supreme Court is slated to hear, on Monday, a plea filed by the United Doctors Front (UDF) challenging the National Board of Examinations (NBE) decision to conduct the NEET PG 2025 examination in two shifts.
The petition demands that the examination should be conducted in a single and uniform session across the country.
As per the causelist published on the website of the apex court, a bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and K.V. Viswanathan will take up the matter for hearing on May 5.
The plea, filed through advocate Satyam Singh Rajput, said the conduct of NEET PG in two shifts with different question papers leads to inevitable variation in difficulty levels, thereby subjecting candidates to unequal standards of evaluation.
“This violates Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantee equality before law and the right to fair opportunity,” it said.
The petition added that the statistical normalisation process adopted by NBE lacks transparency, public consultation, or expert scrutiny, and the normalisation formula operates on the “flawed presumption that difficulty levels across shifts and the ability of candidates are identical”.
It sought the top court’s intervention to conduct NEET PG 2025 in a single and uniform session, apart from seeking an interim stay on the examination scheduled for June 15.
In relation to the NEET PG 2024, which was also conducted in two shifts, several petitions were filed before the Supreme Court challenging the lack of transparency in the conduct of the examination. NEET-PG aspirants had challenged the NBE’s practice of not disclosing question papers, answer keys, or response sheets of candidates, apart from questioning the introduction of two shifts, the normalisation method, and the change in the tie-breaker criterion.
