Rising number of aspirants- The NEET attempt restrictions 2025 can lead to an increase in the number of candidates appearing in NEET UG exam. This is mainly because students will have only limited chances to appear for the NEET exam and students who are thinking about skipping one year to prepare better may not have that luxury anymore.
