The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate courses (NEET PG) 2025, a pivotal examination for medical graduates in India, has recently undergone significant changes. Here’s an updated overview:
🗓️ Exam Postponement & Supreme Court Directive
Originally slated for June 15, 2025, the NEET PG 2025 exam has been postponed.
