New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear a petition seeking greater transparency in the National Eligibility Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025 exam on September 23. The Supreme Court bench has scheduled this matter as the first case on the court’s agenda that day, and proceedings will begin with the NEET PG 2025 case. "List on 23-9-2025 on top of the Board," ordered the bench—comprising Justices J.B. Pardiwala and K.V. Viswanathan—on September 19, 2025, when the matter was mentioned in court. Previously, Medical Dialogues reported that a group of NEET-PG 2025 aspirants had filed a plea before the Supreme Court challenging the "corrective notice" issued by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on August 21. The plea argues that the new system for disclosing answer keys, as announced by NBEMS, is "opaque, unintelligible, and incapable of meaningful verification." In the notice dated August 21, 2025, NBEMS stated that both the sequence of questions within sections of the NEET-PG 2025 paper and the order of answer options would be shuffled for different candidates. As a result, NBEMS decided that questions, answer keys, and candidate responses would all be displayed according to the sequence in the master set of the NEET-PG 2025 question paper. When the matter was previously heard by a bench including the Chief Justice and Justice K. Vinod Chandran on September 1, 2025, the judges noted that the petition involved interpreting an earlier Supreme Court order from April 29, 2025. Thus, they referred the matter to the bench headed by Justice J.B. Pardiwala. In the April 29, 2025 order, a Supreme Court bench consisting of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan had issued 10 directives aimed at improving the NEET-PG exam. They also instructed the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to publish the raw scores, answer keys, and the normalisation formula for the NEET PG exam. At a prior hearing, the Supreme Court bench had questioned the petitioners’ motives and adjourned the matter for a week. The bench asked the petitioners, "Why do you think there is no transparency? Is it because you got fewer marks?" The bench further remarked, "Whenever the court tries to ensure a smooth process, people take undue advantage. They decide to go to the Supreme Court, invoke Article 32, request scores, answer keys—just because of their performance." Separately, another plea by the UDF challenged NBEMS’s decision to conduct the NEET PG 2025 exam in two shifts and to use a normalisation formula. Previously, the Supreme Court had directed NBEMS to conduct NEET PG 2025 in a single shift and indicated that any issues related to the second relief claim would be examined after the conclusion of the examinations.
