Online exam and hybrid model

The panel recommends conducting entrance tests online wherever feasible. If an online format is not practical, a hybrid model for NEET should be implemented. In this approach, the NEET exam papers would be transmitted digitally to the examination centres, while students would mark their answers on OMR sheets.

Two-stage NEET exam

The expert committee has proposed conducting the NEET UG exam in multiple stages, similar to the JEE format. This approach would enable the authorities to manage candidates more effectively and address their needs more efficiently.

Limiting the number of attempts in NEET

As there is no limit to the number of attempts in the NEET exam, candidates can appear for the medical entrance test as many times as they want. The committee has also proposed to restrict the number of attempts in the NEET 2025 exam.

Recruiting full time staff

The panel advises the NTA to recruit full time personnel rather than relying on temporary staff. Additionally, it recommends avoiding the use of private centres for conducting the NEET UG exam.
