**NEET PG 2025 Counselling: Supreme Court to Hear Petitions on Answer Key Transparency**

The Supreme Court is set to hear petitions related to the NEET PG 2025 counselling today, September 19. Originally slated for September 12, the hearing will now be conducted by a bench comprising Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice KV Viswanathan, according to media reports.

### Petitioners Raise Concerns Over Transparency

The petitions have been filed by NEET PG aspirants along with the United Doctors Front (UDF), who are strongly opposing the answer key released by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). This is the first time NBEMS has published an answer key following a directive from the Supreme Court.

However, candidates argue that the answer key format is not transparent. The key includes only question IDs and answer key IDs, without the actual questions. Students claim this restricts their ability to verify their answers effectively, defeating the purpose of publishing the answer key in the first place.

The petitioners are urging the Supreme Court to direct NBEMS to publish the complete set of question papers along with detailed answer explanations. They believe this will ensure a fair and equitable verification process.

### NEET PG 2025 Counselling Schedule Awaited

While the Supreme Court examines the matter, thousands of aspirants eagerly await the release of the NEET PG 2025 counselling schedule, which will be announced shortly by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).

The schedule will outline important details including registration procedures, choice filling, and dates for seat allotment results. Shortlisted candidates will need to register on the MCC website, submit their applications, and select their preferred courses and institutions.

Seat allocation will be carried out based on merit, candidate preferences, and seat availability across medical colleges.

### Potential Impact of the Supreme Court Verdict

The Supreme Court’s decision on the transparency of the NEET PG answer key could have significant implications for future medical entrance examinations. It may set new standards for accountability and fairness in postgraduate medical admission processes, enhancing trust in the system for aspirants nationwide.
