The official notification mentioned that in case a testing seat is not available in the state or UT in which the candidate prefers to appear in NEET PG, he/she can choose the option from the list at the time of selection during online submission of the NEET PG application form. NBEMS stated that they will make all efforts to allot a testing centre in the state of the correspondence address of the candidate; however, in case of unavailability of the testing seat in the concerned State due to logistical, administrative or other reasons, a testing centre anywhere in India may be allocated.
Moreover, NBEMS reserves its right to add or remove exam cities from the list due to logistical, administrative or other reasons, as mentioned in the NEET PG notice. Last year, for the first time, NEET-PG was held in two shifts instead of one. The examination took place on August 11, with sessions from 9 am to 12.30 pm and 3.30 pm to 7 pm.
Aspirants were concerned that multiple shifts may create unevenness due to potential differences in question paper difficulty levels, affecting some students’ performance. Candidates who appeared in NEET PG exam in 2024 had raised concerns on transparency of results and the normalisation process.
The petitioners had demanded that NBE should release the NEET PG answer key, response sheets, raw and pre-normalised scores and normalised results of all shifts. They have also demanded that the release of the NEET PG answer keys, question papers should become a standard practice to ensure transparency. Petitioners had also requested the Court to suspend the counselling process till all concerns are addressed.
