New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday directed the National Board of Examination not to hold NEET-PG 2025 in two shifts, observing that such an exam will create arbitrariness.

The Court directed the NBE to make arrangements to hold NEET-PG 2025 in a single shift ensuring transparency. The Court observed that there was still time left to make necessary arrangements for the exam scheduled to be held on June 15.

"Holding examination in two shifts creates arbitrariness and also does not keep all the candidates at the same level. Any two question papers can never be said to be of an identical level of difficulty or ease. There has to be a variation", the Court observed in its order.

Rejecting the argument of the NBE that there were not enough centres to hold exam in single shift, the Court observed:

"The exam is to be held all over the country, not just one city. We are not ready to accept that in entire country and considering the technological advancements in this country, the examining body could not find enough centres to hold the examination and one shift."

A bench of Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sanjay Kumar, and Justice NV Anjaria passed the order while hearing a batch of petitions challenging the decision of the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to conduct NEET-PG 2025 in two shifts.
