NEET PG hearing occurred on August 9, 2024, at the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court heard the plea seeking postponement of the NEET PG. The exam is to be scheduled on August 11, 2024. The reason behind the plea is that it is inconvenient to reach the cities allocated to candidates. On Thursday, the Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud and Justices Manoj Mishra and JB Pardiwala took note of lawyer Anis Tanwir’s submissions on this issue.
Cities were allocated on July 31 and the specific centres were declared on August 8. According to the petition, making arrangements to travel to the exam centres within this short time is inconvenient for candidates. Therefore, it would be better if the exam is postponed. The court has rejected the petition and the exam will be conducted on August 11 as decided earlier.

The exam was previously decided to be held on July 23, but the Union Health Ministry postponed it as a precautionary measure because of the irregularities of the NEET UG exam. According to Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice JB Pardiwala postponing the exam can jeopardise the careers of close to 2 lakh candidates at the behest of only five candidates who had moved the plea.
“As a matter of principle, we will not reschedule the exam. There are two lakh students and four lakh parents who will weep over the weekend if we postpone it. We cannot put the careers of so many candidates in jeopardy”, the Chief Justice stated.
According to the NBE Chief Abhijat Sheth, after receiving feedback regarding the centre allotment the authority has added more test centres. Private centres have also been eliminated to ensure safety. As a result of this, some students might have to travel a bit farther. The authority has made every possible effort to reduce the distance.
The students are also concerned about the difficulty level of the exam as it is conducted in two batches. Therefore, they think one batch might receive more difficult sets of question papers than another batch. A request was made to disclose the normalisation formula which is made to ensure fairness across different question sets.
