The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has written to the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), urging to conduct the NEET PG 2025 examination. NEET PG is expected to be held on 15 June in 2025, and the results are expected to be declared on 15 July. NBEMS will conduct a computer-based mode in a computer-based mode.
Many candidates have expressed concern about the continuous use of two-shift examination format. They are calling for a return to the traditional single-shift model, citing concerns about uneven question paper difficulty and fairness of the score generalization process.
“We are writing to express our deep concern about the proposed plan to test the National Eligibility cum Entrance for NEET PG 2025 in two shifts instead of the same shift. As you know, Neet PG is one of the most important examinations for medical graduates, which sets opportunities for their chances and expertise.
Highlighting the issues around the conduct of NEET PG 2025, in many changes, the FIMA expressed concern over the process of normalization of marks, the difference in the level of difficulty of papers
The doctors association said, “In different innings, different question papers naturally introduce the variation in the level of difficulty, which makes it really challenging to establish a proper generalization process. This may lead to improper advantages or disadvantages for the candidates, which compromise the reliability of examination results, based on their prescribed change.”
FAIMA further said, “A single-shift exam ensures uniformity in difficulty levels, eliminates the requirement of generalization, and increases the transparency and fairness of the selection process. In many changes, conducting the examination can also give birth to legal challenges and unnecessary disputes, eventually the admission process may be delayed and the crisis may be delayed.”
NEET PG was first held in two shifts for the first time on 11 August. The first innings lasted from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm and the second from 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm. A petition filed by the United Doctors Front, challenging the two-shift format of NEET PG 2025, is currently before the Supreme Court. This question paper exposes concerns about the difference in difficulty and questions the ambiguity of the score generalization process, calling for a more equitable and transparent assessment system.
