Try NowNEW DELHI: A good news and a bad news for NEET PG aspirants. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has confirmed the exam date for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test - postgraduate (NEET PG 2025) and announced that the NEET PG registration will start from April 17. However, there is no change in the number of shifts.
Amid the NEET PG postponement rumours, the NBEMS recently said that the entrance exam will be administered on the scheduled date on June 15. Aspirants who fulfill the eligibility criteria will be able to fill the NEET PG application form 2025 through the official websites, natboard.edu.in and nbe.edu.in.
NEET PG application 2025, fee details
The NEET PG registration last date 2025 is May 7. The information brochure detailing the eligibility criteria, exam pattern, and syllabus will be uploaded at 3 pm tomorrow. Candidate belonging to general, OBC, EWS categories will have to pay Rs 3,500 as application fees and SC, ST will have to deposit Rs 2,500.
All candidates who have completed MBBS and the compulsory internship from a NMC-recognised medical college and registered with the Medical Council of India (MCI) or State Medical Council (SMC) will be eligible to apply for the entrance exam.
NEET PG seats, controversy
The NEET PG percentile will be used to fill 50% All India Quota (AIQ) quota seats for all states and Union Territories of India. The total number of NEET PG seats has been increased from 31,185 before 2014 to 74,306 as of now, the health ministry informed the Lok Sabha recently.
After the exam date announcement, aspirants and doctors’ associations urged the board to hold the exam in a single shift, like done traditionally. However, it has today clarified that the NEET PG will be held as computer-based test in two shifts - morning shift from 9 am to 12.30 pm and the evening shift from 3.30 pm to 7 pm.
Raising apprehension about the NEET PG normalisation method which led to alleged irregularities in the merit list used for granting admission, the aspirants requested the NBE and NMC to withdraw its decision to hold exam in multiple shifts. Last year, the NBE adopted the normalisation process used by AIIMS New Delhi, which led to numerous controversies during the state counselling process and MCC NEET PG counselling .
