In a move that has left coaching institutes gasping for breath and YouTubers scrambling to rewrite their thumbnail clickbait, the Supreme Court has just announced that NEET PG 2025 will be conducted in a single shift across India.
Yes, just one shift. One exam. One nation. One collective anxiety attack.
The decision comes after a heated debate between students, coaching giants, and the National Board of Examinations (NBE), who apparently thought splitting the exam into multiple shifts was a good idea—until the internet reminded them how normalisation math works. Spoiler: it doesn’t.
From Courtroom to Classroom: What the Supreme Court Said about NEET PG
In a verdict that’s likely to be quoted in every future protest against shifting exam patterns, the Supreme Court declared that NEET PG must be conducted in one go to ensure fairness and transparency.
Justice (and every PG aspirant’s future) was served when the court questioned why the NBE can’t conduct one paper for everyone when NEET UG already manages to do it—with a little chaos, but hey, equality is messy.
“If fairness is the goal, then standardisation is the route,” said the bench, allegedly while resisting the urge to hand the NBE a syllabus for common sense.
Why the Fuss? And Why Are YouTube Thumbnails Crying?
NBE initially wanted to split NEET PG into multiple shifts, citing logistical challenges, like too many students and not enough chairs. Coaching institutes, however, saw it as a golden goose — two shifts meant double the memory-based paper leaks, double the strategy videos, and double the monetized panic.
But now?
- No early-bird advantage.
- No second-shift video guides.
- No YouTuber shouting “Important Questions from Morning Slot!”
“What do you mean we only get ONE live stream now?” sobbed a popular coach, refreshing his subscriber count.
What This Means for Students: Fewer Excuses, More Stress
For NEET PG aspirants, the Supreme Court’s decision is a mix of relief and terror:
Pros:
- Everyone faces the same questions.
- No unfair percentile tampering based on shifts.
- Reddit conspiracy threads will finally die.
Cons:
- No fallback slot.
- Only one paper = one attempt to not blank out.
- Last-minute prep sessions now feel like wedding sangeets — short, intense, and full of regrets.
Coaching Institutes React: Cancel the Second Slot Panic Party
Once known for releasing three videos per exam shift and five PDFs per panic attack, the coaching industry is now facing a content crisis. EdTech backrooms are on fire:
- “How do we fill 12 hours of revision into one video?”
- “Do we now upload crash courses or crash coping sessions?”
- “Is there a way to blame NMC and trend again?”
One institute is reportedly testing AI-powered ‘One Shot Crash Plans’, while another just repackaged last year’s JEE strategy into a NEET PG motivational reel.
Medical Twitter & Meme Gurus Chime In
The online med community wasted no time in expressing their mixed feelings:
@MBBS_Survivor: “Finally, we all suffer together. How democratic.”
@PGprep_GuruJi: “Pls subscribe before we run out of relevant content.”
@JustAnotherDoc: “I trained for six shifts. This is like training for a marathon and getting a 100m sprint.”
But Logistically, Can They Even Pull This Off?
That’s the billion-rupee question.
NBE now has to accommodate over 2 lakh candidates in one massive shift. Venues across the country will need to be upgraded from sauna-level exam halls to human-safe zones. Rumour has it that railway stations and wedding pandals are being quietly inspected.
Insiders suggest NBE may partner with:
- ISRO (for space mapping of exam centres)
- Uber (for student drop logistics)
- Swiggy (for emergency energy bars)
One official was overheard saying: “We thought ChatGPT would conduct the exam for us by now.”
Flashbacks & Forward March
- NEET UG already follows the one-shift model — and is still recovering from the chaos.
- JEE tried multiple shifts and ended up with students calculating percentiles using Vedic Math.
- Now NEET PG is on the same boat, except this one has only one lifeboat — and everyone’s scrambling to board it first.
