    Supreme Court To Hear NEET PG 2025 Exam Transparency Pleas On Sept 12

    The Supreme Court will hear the petitions filed by doctors and NEET PG 2025 aspirants demanding greater transparency in the postgraduate medical entrance exam on September 12. The petitioners have challenged the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) over its new mechanism for releasing answer keys.
    Instead of sharing full question papers and detailed answer keys, NBEMS only released “answer key IDs.” Candidates argue this prevents them from properly verifying their answers, raising doubts about the evaluation process.
    One of the pleas was filed by the United Doctors Front (UDF), which had earlier also opposed NBE’s decision to conduct NEET PG 2025 in two shifts and use a normalisation formula. On August 21, NBEMS had also issued a “corrective notice” that is now under legal scrutiny.
    Advocate Satyam Singh Rajpoot, representing one of the petitioners, confirmed that all NEET PG-related cases will be heard together by the apex court.
    Students claim that the limited disclosure is “opaque, unintelligible and incapable of meaningful verification.” They argue that the system violates their right to a fair admission process under Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution. A petition notes, “It frustrates the very object of publishing answer keys, which is to help candidates cross-check their answers and raise objections.”
    The Supreme Court had earlier, on April 29, directed NBE to publish raw scores, answer keys and the normalisation formula. Now, candidates allege NBEMS has deviated from that order.

    Counselling Likely To Be Delayed
    The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is expected to announce the counselling schedule for the 50% All-India Quota (AIQ) seats soon. However, if the court directs NBEMS to release detailed answer keys, the counselling process could be delayed.
    For now, the NEET PG 2025 merit list has been released and admissions will proceed based on ranks, but the final schedule may depend on the court’s ruling.
