    As per the official notification, the NEET UG 2025 exam will be conducted on May 4 in pen and paper-based mode. The exam date of NEET UG has been announced with an official notice at neet.nta.nic.in.

    NEET section B removed

    One of the most significant updates for NEET 2025 is the new NEET exam pattern 2025. As per the NEET exam pattern changes by NTA, section B has been removed from the NEET question paper. Earlier, there used to be two sections in the NEET question paper - Section A and Section B, with section A consisting of 35 mandatory questions, and section B consisting of 15 optional questions.

    In another major update in NEET 2025, the total NEET exam duration has been reduced from an earlier set of 3 hours 20 minutes to 3 hours. 20 minutes have been reduced from the total time of NEET 2025 exam. This reduction in NEET 2025 time duration is mainly due to the reduction in the number of questions from section B and will increase the difficulty level of NEET 2025 exam.

    NEET exam mode 2025

    Since NEET 2024 was surrounded by controversies of paper leaks and cheating, it was speculated that NEET 2025 will be conducted in online mode. However, NTA has announced that NEET 2025 will be conducted in offline mode. Many experts were expecting a hybrid model in NEET 2025. However, NTA through its notification has made it clear that the exam will be conducted in offline mode only.

    No multiple shifts for NEET 2025

    Amid the talks of conducting NEET 2025 in online mode, it was also speculated that there will be two phases and multiple shifts in NEET 2025 just like the JEE exam. However, NTA has announced that NEET 2025 exam will be conducted in a single shift.
