NEET PG 2025 Postponement? Doctors Demand Delay Amid India-Pak Conflict & Exam Controversies

NEET PG 2025 Postponement: The proposed delay in NEET PG 2025 and INI CET exams have resulted in a wide national discussion, with both medical students and figures discussing their positions in favour. As India-Pakistan ties have become more turbulent, NEET Postgraduate Exam safety has been joined by concerns over academic and logistical difficulties during the exam process, strengthening calls for a delay. Hence, in this article, we will let you know the possibility of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test 2025 and the latest updates on the controversies surrounding it.

Will NEET PG 2025 be Postponed?

As of now, no official notification has been released by the consigning authority confirming the delay of the NEET PG 2025. Hence nothing can be said precisely. But looking at the war conditions in India with Pakistan and the involvement of the Supreme Court in the NEET PG 2025 two shift format controversy, there are high chances that the exam will be delayed. Check out the major reasons for the possibility of the NEET PG 2025 Postponement.

1. Geopolitical Tensions: India-Pakistan Conflict

The intensification of the border struggle between India and Pakistan has become the main reason for the need to postpone the NEET PG 2025. Exam candidates in the border regions like Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan experience physical movement bans and mental torture due to continuous military activities.

Because of curfews, restricted means of travel, and internet limitations, students cannot prepare sufficiently, are unable to make travel arrangements, nor ensure essential updates on the exam.

The medical professionals among those who raised concerns to authorities have done so by making formal appeals around “national interest and student safety.

2. NEET PG 2025 Two-Shift Format Controversy

It has come to light that NBE intends to conduct NEET PG 2025 exam in two shifts mainly because of high number of candidates and limited exam facilities. However, such response has been almost entirely negative because of the following worries:

Lack of Transparency: The applicants are complaining about the choice to conduct a major examination in different shifts without proper transparency.

Unfairness in Question Difficulty: Many people think that the exam structure may cause a difference in question difficulty and hence pit fall some participants.

Past Precedents: Publications of the type, such as the NEET MDS, have gone against these practices of holding multiple shifts because it has primarily been contested on grounds of inability to enact strict standards throughout the shifts.

3. Controversy Around NEET PG Normalisation Process

To address the issue of different schedules of exams, NBE is planning to introduce the NEET PG normalisation process in order to make uniform scores. As a result, the proposed measure has scheduled a lot of criticisms as follow:

Lack of Clear Guidelines: There is no clear/ open explanation from the NEET PG board as to how they have calculated the normalization.

Potential for Scoring Injustice: Allegations remain that the first test outcomes of aspirants might be wrongly interpreted or adjusted unfairly.

No Mock Trial or Sample: Candidates have felt less comfortable as time goes on because no public trials or examples of normalization have been disseminated.

4. Mental Health & Preparation Disruptions

A major issue is rising mental stress of students who are hoping to earn NEET PG degrees. Fogginess regarding dates of exams, style changes and geopolitical changes have heavily upset the mental health of NEET PG aspirants. Many promising candidates who are expecting answers concerning their burnout and motivation drop are in for a disappointment. It has emerged that many candidates have a problem accessing study facilities such as libraries as well as coaching centers due to persistent security issues.

5. Calls from the Medical Community

Some resident doctors’ groups, medical forums, and student groups have even explicitly supported postponing the evaluation. Engagement on the web has boomed, and hashtags like #PostponeNEETPG2025 and #FairNEETPG have gone viral in spaces such as X (Twitter) and Telegram. Applicants are lobbying for the NBE to make known detailed information on exam schedule, as well as the enforcement of normalisation and what it intends to do in case the border situation escalates.

Official Silence So Far

To date, the NEET PG 2025 scheduled dates have neither been updated nor updated in any way by either the NBE or the AIIMS. The inability to bring some clarity using official channels is worsening the anger and concern among the candidates.

Aspirants are asking to postpone the NEET PG 2025 and INI CET exams because of national security concerns, concerns about how the events will be conducted fairly, and the need to guard students’ well-being. As pressure to postpone is building up every day, future candidates are relying on responsible leadership, transparency and decisive action by the concerned authorities. The central concerns in making decisions ahead have to be safety and fairness.

Will NEET PG happen in 2025?

Official decision by National Medical Commission (NMC) and National board of examinations (NBE) is that NEET PG will be conducted in 2025. There were speculations in previous years that NEET PG may be replaced with NExT (National Exit Test) after it came out on launch but this rollout of the NExT has been put on indefinite hold.

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) Post Graduate (PG) continues to be the official entrance exam for MD/MS/PG Diploma programs in the 2025 academic year. NEET PG will be in 2025, but the time it will occur and whether it will be one or two shifts can still be determined by future national authorities and governing bodies’ updates.
