NEET PG 2025 Supreme Court Hearing Live Updates: Check SC's Verdict on Exam Transparency Now

Updated on Sep 25, 2025 13:22

The petitioners and medical community argue that the exam body - NBEMS isn't sharing enough information for candidates to accurately check their scores. This ongoing uncertainty in the case has directly delayed the national NEET PG 2025 counselling until the SC issues its final order.

The Supreme Court will hear NEET PG 2025 transparency plea on September 26. The case, listed at the top of the court's board, addresses score discrepancies and the lack of transparency raised by medical aspirants.

The core issue is the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences' failure to follow a previous court directive to publish raw scores, the full answer key and the normalization method, opting instead to release only question IDs and answers.

What is the NEET PG 2025 Supreme Court Hearing About?

Specifically, the NEET PG 2025 Supreme Court pleas are for:

Full Question Paper Disclosure: Publishing the actual questions in the order seen by each candidate, not just question ID numbers.
Complete Answer Key and Response Sheet: Releasing the candidate's attempted responses, the official correct answers, and the marks awarded.
Raw Scores and Normalization Formula: Publishing the raw scores of all candidates and explaining the normalization method used to calculate the final results.

Past NEET PG 2025 Events Leading Up to the SC Hearing

April 2025 (Previous Instance): The Supreme Court had previously directed the NBEMS to implement transparency measures, including the publication of raw scores, answer keys, and the normalization formula.
August 3, 2025: The NEET PG 2025 exam was conducted.
August 19, 2025: The NEET PG 2025 results were released.
August 21, 2025 (The Controversy Point): The NBEMS issued a notice promising to display the "questions, correct answer key and responses." However, it later issued a "corrective notice" stating that only the Question ID Numbers, the correct answer key, and responses marked would be displayed, as per a master set.
Late August/Early September 2025: Aspirants took the exam board to the Supreme Court because the answer key only used Question IDs. They argued this system was confusing and not transparent since questions and choices were shuffled for each person. They claim this lack of transparency is responsible for score differences of 50 to 150 marks in their results.
September 2025: The case was listed for multiple hearings (September 4,12,19, 23) but faced several adjournments. The Court has, in earlier instances, questioned the NBEMS about the lack of full disclosure.

The ongoing judicial proceedings are now determining the extent of transparency the NBEMS must provide before the all-India counselling for postgraduate medical seats can proceed.
