πŸ”„ Reasons for Postponement – In Detail

Let’s explore why ? NEET PG 2025 postponed despite being so close to the scheduled date.

1. Internship Completion Gap

A significant number of final-year MBBS students from states like Bihar, Odisha, and Maharashtra had not completed their mandatory 12-month internship, making them ineligible for the July exam.


2. Implementation of New Curriculum

The new Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) system introduced in 2023 is not fully implemented across all institutions. This created a knowledge gap between students from different colleges.


3. Infrastructure & Tech Readiness

According to NBEMS, there were delays in test center software upgrades, especially in Tier-2 cities. Glitches in biometric verification and AI proctoring had not been resolved.


4. Mental Health & Student Petitions

More than 1.8 lakh students signed online petitions via Change.org, and hashtags like #PostponeNEETPG2025 trended nationally on X (Twitter). Students cited mental health issues, lack of preparation time, and sudden syllabus changes.

🧠 How to Use This Extra Time Wisely – Expert Tips

Here are 7 smart ways aspirants can take advantage of the delay:

1. Create a Flexible 6-Week Study Plan

  • Allocate more time for weaker subjects
  • Use spaced repetition for high-yield topics
  • Add mock tests to weekends

2. Join Online Revision Crash Courses

  • Look for updated crash programs from Marrow, Prepladder, and DBMCI
  • Focus on video lectures with recall MCQs

3. Revise Previous Year NEET PG & INICET Questions

  • 80% of NEET PG questions are concept-based repeats
  • Solve PYQs with explanations, not just answers

4. Improve Test-Taking Strategy

  • Work on time management
  • Master elimination techniques
  • Simulate exam conditions (timer + no break)

5. Sleep & Diet Management

You can’t focus on 300 questions if you’re sleeping 4 hours and eating junk. Now’s the time to:

  • Get 6–7 hours of sleep
  • Eat home-cooked, high-protein meals
  • Stay hydrated and cut down on caffeine

6. Form Peer Study Groups

Revising together can:

  • Boost motivation
  • Help with doubt-solving
  • Create accountability

7. Stay Mentally Resilient

Use free tools like:

  • YouTube meditations
  • Spotify brain-boost playlists
