The examination has caught up in legal complications and criticism. In September 2024, a group of candidates filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding the disclosure of raw scores and challenging the use of normalisation method to calculate results.
Earlier, National Medical Council had declared that the NEET-PG 2025 exam would be held on June 16. Though the application process for examination was expected to start in early January, the delays have left candidates looking for official confirmation.
