**NEET PG 2025 Concludes Smoothly; Experts Urge India to Address Economic Competitiveness in Wake of Global Trade Shifts**

**NEW DELHI** – The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) successfully conducted the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025 on August 3rd. The single-shift exam, held from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, is a crucial gateway for aspiring doctors seeking admission to MD/MS/PG Diploma, post MBBS DNB courses, direct six-year DrNB courses, and NBEMS diploma programs across the country.

Candidates were permitted to enter the examination center starting at 7:00 AM for registration, with entry closing promptly at 8:30 AM. Login access was granted at 8:45 AM. Strict regulations were in place regarding permitted items, with candidates required to bring a printed admit card (with barcode/QR code), a photocopy of their SMC/MCI/NMC registration, and original government-issued photo identification. A complete ban was imposed on stationery, electronic devices, jewelry, bags, food items, and any materials that could be used for unfair means.

NEET PG 2025 was conducted as a computer-based test (CBT) comprising 200 multiple-choice questions in English. The exam duration was 3 hours and 30 minutes. Each correct answer earned four marks, while incorrect answers incurred a negative marking of one mark (25% deduction).

**Economic Commentary: India’s Need for Transformation**

While the NEET PG exam focuses on the medical field, some economic commentators suggest India needs internal economic transformation.
Donald Trump’s tariff policies have significantly impacted global trade dynamics, including US-India relations.
India’s past inability to strike a trade deal with the US underscores the urgent need for internal economic reforms to maintain competitiveness.

Analysts argue that Trump’s economic agenda, characterized by tariffs aimed at reducing trade deficits, investments in US reindustrialization, and efforts to promote American dominance in artificial intelligence, presents a challenge to India.

Experts emphasize that India must proactively address these global economic shifts by implementing comprehensive reforms to enhance its economic competitiveness and secure its position in the evolving international landscape. Failure to do so, they warn, could leave India lagging behind in the global race for economic growth and technological advancement.
