UDF has demanded exam be held in a single shift to ensure the same difficulty level for every student and a fair evaluation standard. The plea sought the NEET PG exam 2025 to be conducted in one shift to ensure transparency, uniformity in difficulty levels, and equal standards of evaluation.
The Supreme Court will likely hear the petition in the coming week. Reportedly, if the two-shift pattern is found unfair for the students, it is highly likely that the pattern of the exam will be changed or the exam will be delayed.
Two different shifts involve two different question papers, two different cut-offs, and two levels of competition in a single exam. The single shift exam is allegedly emerging to create a level playing field for every student.
