New Delhi, May 31, 2025 — In a landmark decision on Friday, the Supreme Court of India ruled that the NEET-PG 2025 examination must be conducted in a single shift, rejecting the National Board of Examinations’ (NBE) proposal for multiple shifts and the associated normalization process. The verdict has been met with widespread relief and celebration among medical aspirants, especially those who have actively campaigned for a fairer examination process.
A Victory for Fairness
Aditi, one of the seven petitioners who challenged the NBE’s plan, expressed immense joy and relief following the Supreme Court’s order. In an interview with EdexLive, she described the journey as a “fair fight for justice” and a “fruitful end” to months of uncertainty.
Last year, Aditi herself was directly impacted by the two-shift system and normalization procedures, which left many students feeling disadvantaged and unheard. Motivated by her own experience, she decided to take a stand this year, determined not to wait for someone else to advocate on her behalf.
“A fair fight, a fight for justice, was necessary. I knew I would be affected if there were two shifts, and I didn’t want to wait for anyone to help me. I fought for myself she said.
Overcoming Uncertainty
The legal battle was far from easy. Aditi recounted the repeated delays and shifting court dates, which made it seem almost impossible for meaningful change to occur so close to the exam date.
“It is very unexpected. We had low expectations, given the case’s slow progress, the numerous postponements, and the extended deadlines. This year’s win was unexpected, and I don’t know how to express or feel aboutit, she shared.
Despite the odds, the Supreme Court’s verdict came through, marking what Aditi described as a “long struggle, but fruitful in the end.”
Gratitude and Relief
Aditi also expressed deep gratitude toward Advocate Abhisht Hela, whose guidance and expertise played a crucial role in the case.
“Thanks to our lawyer, Advocate Abhisht Hela, with his knowledge and presence of mind, we did not need to invest so much time into it. But yes, it was a great, unexpectedvictory, she remarked.
Impact on Aspirants
The Supreme Court’s order is widely seen as a major win for fairness and transparency in medical entrance examinations. The single-shift format is expected to provide a level playing field for all candidates, eliminating the uncertainties associated with normalization across multiple shifts.
For Aditi and thousands of NEET-PG aspirants, the judgment has brought “relief, relaxation, and happiness,” marking a new chapter in the fight for just and equitable educational opportunities.
