The National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced that the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025 will take place on June 15 in two shifts: the first from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and the second from 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM. This decision has raised concerns among medical aspirants and professionals, who fear a repeat of last year's problems with the normalization process used to adjust scores across different exam sessions.
Many candidates have voiced their worries on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). One doctor questioned the decision, stating, "NBEMS has announced NEET PG 2025 in two shifts despite the normalization mess in 2024!... Why repeat the same mistake?" Additionally, the Unified Doctors Front (UDF) has written to Health Minister JP Nadda, urging a reconsideration of the two-shift format to ensure fairness and transparency.
Critics argue that conducting the exam in multiple shifts could lead to inconsistencies in difficulty levels, making the normalization process unfair. They advocate for a single-shift examination to provide a uniform assessment for all candidates. As the Times of India reports, these reactions have reignited debates about transparency and fairness. Candidates continue to push for a single-shift exam to ensure parity and avoid potential discrepancies in evaluation.
