📌 NEET PG 2025 exam process under legal scanner for alleged lack of transparency

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court of India, seeking greater transparency in the NEET-PG 2025 evaluation process. The hearing is scheduled for August 3, 2025, where concerns about the answer key, marking protocol, and candidate rights will be addressed.

⚖️ What the Petition Demands

Filed by advocate Tanvi Dubey, the petition challenges the opaque evaluation system used by the National Board of Examinations (NBE). It urges the court to:

• Direct the release of question papers and answer keys

• Allow candidates to challenge incorrect answers

• Enable re-evaluation in case of score discrepancies

• Establish a transparent assessment system for future NEET-PG exams

📢 Supreme Court’s Response So Far

The Bench of Justice K. Vinod Chandran and Justice N.V. Anjaria acknowledged the matter's seriousness and listed the case for hearing on August 3. The petition argues that the lack of openness:

• Undermines the credibility of a national-level exam

• Violates the rights of students

• Could have long-term impacts on medical careers
