What was the NEET PG 2025 exam date?

The NEET PG 2025 exam date was 3 August 2025. The NBEMS notice of 27 August 2025 confirms that NEET-PG 2025 was conducted on that day. It was a computer-based test, marked out of 800.

On exam day the paper ran from 9 am to 12:30 pm in a single shift, according to the All India Radio report of 3 August 2025. Close to 2.5 lakh medical graduates were due to sit it. Entry to centres opened at 7 am and closed at 8:30 am.

Why did the NEET PG 2025 exam date move from 15 June to 3 August?

NEET PG 2025 was first scheduled for 15 June 2025 in two shifts. On 30 May 2025 the Supreme Court directed that it be held in one shift. A single shift means every candidate sits the same paper at the same time. NBEMS then asked for more time to arrange enough centres.

On 6 June 2025 the Supreme Court allowed NBEMS to hold the exam on 3 August 2025 in one shift, as reported in the All India Radio report of 6 June 2025. The court said the reasons given were bona fide. It also said no further time would be granted.

What was the NEET PG 2025 result and cut-off?

NBEMS declared the NEET PG 2025 result on 19 August 2025. The cut-off is the lowest score that counts as qualified for counselling. For 2025 it was set as a percentile, meaning your position among all candidates, and then turned into a score out of 800.

In January 2026 the Ministry of Health asked NBEMS to lower the percentile so more candidates could join the third round of counselling. The NBEMS notice of 13 January 2026 on revised NEET-PG 2025 cut-off scores sets out both sets of figures.

Ranks did not change when the percentile fell. Only the line for who could join counselling moved. A cut-off of minus 40 is possible because each wrong answer carried negative marks.

When did the NEET PG 2025 scorecard come out?

The All India 50% quota scorecard could be downloaded on or after 5 September 2025, according to the NBEMS notice of 27 August 2025. It stayed online for six months only. NBEMS did not post copies to candidates.

The scorecard showed three ranks:

• NEET-PG 2025 rank: your merit position among everyone who sat the exam.

• All India 50% quota rank: your position among candidates eligible for All India quota counselling.

• All India 50% quota category rank: your position within your category, such as OBC, SC, ST or EWS.

State quota merit lists were made separately by each state, using its own rules and reservation policy.

Who could sit NEET PG 2025?

NBEMS sets the eligibility rules in the Information Bulletin for each year. The NEET PG 2024 Information Bulletin lists the core conditions:

• An MBBS degree or provisional MBBS pass certificate recognised under the NMC Act, 2019.

• A permanent or provisional registration certificate from the NMC or a State Medical Council.

• One year of compulsory rotating internship completed by the cut-off date in that year's bulletin.

• For Indian graduates from medical colleges abroad, a pass in FMGE, the screening exam a foreign medical graduate sits before working in India.

The NBEMS notice of 27 August 2025 adds one detail for foreign graduates. Where two candidates tie on score, NBEMS can use the FMGE marks given in the application form to break the tie. Those marks are checked against the original certificate at admission. Our guide on what the FMGE exam is covers that step. Graduates planning to work outside India sit that country's licensing exam instead, such as USMLE for the United States or PLAB for the United Kingdom.

NEET PG 2023 vs 2024 vs 2025 vs 2026: exam and result dates

NEET PG has moved around the calendar in recent years. The table puts four cycles side by side.

The 2025 and 2026 scores cannot be compared like for like. The 2025 paper was marked out of 800 and the 2026 paper out of 720.

The 2024 exam was postponed the day before it was due, as covered in our record of the NEET PG 2024 postponement and the NEET PG 2024 exam reschedule. NBEMS publishes each year's schedule on its NEET PG exam page.

What does the NEET PG 2025 record mean for you in 2026?

Two lessons from 2025 carry over. An official exam date can move, as it did from 15 June to 3 August. And the qualifying cut-off can fall later in counselling, as it did in January 2026. If you sat NEET PG 2026, these are the next steps in order.

1. Download your NEET PG 2026 scorecard from the NBEMS NEET PG page. It opens on or after 1 October 2026 and stays online for six months only.

2. Register for All India quota counselling when MCC publishes its schedule on the MCC PG medical counselling page.

3. Keep your MBBS marksheets, internship completion certificate and registration certificate ready. They are checked at admission.
