The Supreme Court on Friday directed that the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Post Graduate (NEET-PG) 2025 exam scheduled for June 15 be conducted in a single shift instead of two shifts.
A bench headed by Justice Vikram Nath directed the concerned authorities to make arrangements to conduct the examination in one shift and ensure complete transparency.
'Conducting the examination in two shifts gives rise to arbitrariness'
A bench of Justices Sanjay Kumar and NV Anjaria said that conducting the examination in two shifts gives rise to "arbitrariness". The court remarked that the difficulty level or simplicity of two different question papers can never be the same. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the examination in a single shift for uniformity and fairness, so that all the candidates get equal opportunity.
This order was passed during the hearing of the petition, which challenged the notification to conduct the NEET-PG 2025 exam in two shifts.
The Supreme Court intervened in the matter and said that the system of two shifts promotes injustice. The court made it clear that no laxity should be done in the examination process and all arrangements should be made in a transparent manner.
