🔄 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.
🗣️ What Students Are Saying
🧑 “This is the third time we’ve faced disruption. I had left my job for this exam. At least give us clarity now.”
– Ritika P., MBBS Graduate, Kolkata
👨⚕️ “If the government is serious about NEET-PG reform, they need to first streamline internships and give equal access to resources.”
– Mohammed N., Intern, Hyderabad
🙋 “I prepared for the July exam for 6 months. This delay will not improve my prep, it just adds anxiety.”
– Pranav S., MBBS, Pune
🧠 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)

- 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
