The initial announcement was made around March 2025, after which on May 30, the Supreme Court directed the exam to be held in a single shift on June 15. It was finally on August 3 when the exam was held. Following this, NEET PG 2025 result was officially declared by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on August 19, 2025.\n
