NEET PG 2025 Supreme Court hearing likely on September 19; NBEMS is 'hiding something', aspirants allege

The Supreme Court is expected to take up all petitions seeking transparency in National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test - Postgraduate (NEET PG 2025) on September 19, as per the tentative listing on its official website. The NEET PG SC hearing was postponed by two weeks by the top court on September 12. NEET PG Counselling 2025 LIVE

A bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice KV Viswanathan will hear the petition filed by NEET PG aspirants and United Doctors Front (UDF) against the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS).

Although the NBEMS published the NEET PG answer key as per the SC directive, candidates expressed disappointment in the evaluation process and demanded full disclosure of the questions. NEET PG answer key without questions, and only question IDs, defies the purpose, they have been reiterating.

The apex court had asked the students whether they approached the bench because they scored less in the entrance exam. To which, the aspirants responded that the problem is not about low scores in NEET PG, but lack of transparency in the exam.

They said that it is “impossible” to verify answers or check discrepancies in marks with just question IDs. NBE, on the other hand, resisted publishing the questions citing misuse of exam content.

Due to the legal battle, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is yet to announce the NEET PG counselling dates for 50% MD, MS, PG diploma seats across the country. Meanwhile, states like Gujarat, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu have started the registration process for the state quota counselling.

NEET PG aspirants spill anger on X

Aspirants continue to demand clarity in the NEET PG results, counselling, and mark discrepancies raised by candidates.

Kumar appealed to the Union health ministry on X: "There is already a delay in NEET PG session and still All India counselling is not started. Please look into this issue and give an order to MCC to conduct counselling asap."

Another user wrote: "When thousands of medical professionals allege discrepancies in NEET PG marks, the responsible authority must explain—not stay silent."

Several aspirants and X users called NBEMS’ silence "cowardly" and said: "Thousands of doctors united against NBEMS’ opacity. It’s time for open, accountable, and transparent evaluation of NEET PG 2025. ISS BAAR HOKE RAHEGA!!!"

A third X user said: "Enough delay. Every day of silence deepens mistrust. NBEMS must come clean on NEET PG marks discrepancy allegations. The opacity of NBEMS in NEET PG 2025 is undermining the future of Indian doctors. We will not back down until full transparency is ensured."

"NBEMS, we know you are hiding something. Stop your cowardly silence and release every single detail of NEET PG 2025 evaluation," another aspirant wrote on X.
