The offline conduct of the NEET exam has become a primary issue due to the various cases of malpractice, paper leaks, cheating, and impersonation cases that have been discovered in recent times. It was expected that just like NTA conducts paper 1 of JEE main for over 8 lakh students annually, it could implement the same process in NEET UG 2025 too. Implementing this move of conducting NEET 2025 online mode could bring about several positives, but it could also pose challenges. However NTA in its announcement has made it clear that NEET 2025 will not be conducted online.

Will NEET 2025 be conducted online?: Latest update
January 16, 2025: NTA has released a notification regarding the mode of conduct of NEET UG 2025. As per this notification, the NEET 2025 exam will be conducted in offline mode.
November 23, 2024: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in an interview said that the authority has started implementing the suggestions given by the Radhakrishnan committee. The committee and NTA both are in support of moving towards CBT mode. He also said that NTA will remain the conducting body to conduct the NEET 2025.
November 1, 2024: The committee submitted its report to the education ministry. The panel suggested that online mode of exam must be encouraged wherever possible. Otherwise, it advises hybrid mode of exam where NEET question papers can be sent to exam centres digitally and students can record their answers on the OMR sheet. The report futher explanied that the NEET UG exam can be conducted in two-stages like JEE. Along with this, the committee in its report also suggested that the number of attempts should be restricted in NEET exam.
July 16, 2024: As per the media reports, the committee headed by former ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan is expected to submit its recommendations by August 24. The committee has consulted officials from the NTA, NMC, UGC, CSIR and NBE on the same matter. Amid the talks of shifting the NEET 2025 exam to online mode, a seven-member panel, led by former ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan, was formed by the Centre to suggest changes to testing procedures and data security protocols. The Committee was also asked to examine the structure and functioning of the NTA. The seven-member committee requested feedback from students and parents in this regard which could be submitted on the website, innovateindia.mygov.in/examinations-reform-NTA until July 7, 2024.
Will NEET be conducted twice a year in 2025?
No! NEET 2025 will not be conducted twice a year. NMC has decided that NEET UG 2025 will be conducted in a single shift in a single day. Earlier, as per various media reports, it was speculated that just like JEE mains and advanced, the NEET 2025 will be conducted in two phases - Preliminary and mains. As per the NEET 2025 news, there might be separate bodies to conduct the prelims and mains exams, with NTA being the conducting body of prelims, while mains could be conducted by AIIMS.
NEET exam mode history
The Medical Council of India (MCI) introduced NEET in 2013 to ensure uniform admissions to medical and dental colleges. The exam was replaced with multiple state and national-level tests to simplify the process and guarantee fairness and transparency in admissions.
In 2018, Education Minister Prakash Javadekar announced that NEET would be conducted online and twice yearly starting in 2019. However, due to the Health Ministry's objection to the announcement being made without formal consultation, the Education Ministry had to withdraw the decision. The Health Ministry was concerned that computer-based tests would put poor and rural students at a disadvantage.
After that, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in the use of online education and examinations worldwide. In 2020, NEET was carried out offline in the wake of the pandemic with rigorous health protocols and safety measures. This experience showed that conducting large-scale exams like NEET UG in online is the need of the hour.
NEET in two phases: Students say
Due to the various irregularities and NEET paper leaks, students are raising their voices over the online conduct of the NEET exam. Candidates are hopeful that the online NEET exam will increase the transparency in the examination process. Careers360 also conducted an online survey asking students what they have to say about the online conduct of the NEET UG exam. Out of the total recorded responses, 31.6% of students voted in favour of the offline NEET exam. Whereas, 68.4% of students voted in the favour of NEET online exam.
NEET 2025 in two phases: Pros
The NEET 2025 exam if conducted online, not only will ensure the fairness of the exam conduction but also will restore the trust of students and parents in the NTA. Some of the pros, if NEET 2025 is conducted online are stated below -
Fair conduct of NEET exam - NEET 2024 has been surrounded by news of paper leak and cheating. NEET UG in online mode will ensure the fair conduct of examination by minimising the chances of paper leak. NEET 2025 in online mode will prevent cheating and malpractice, enhancing the integrity of the examination process.
Increase in the efficiency - NEET UG in online mode will increase the efficiency allowing for quicker result processing and reduced logistical challenges associated with offline-based exams.
NEET 2025 2 phases: Challenges
Over 24 lakh students appeared for the NEET 2024 exam, and this number is likely to increase in coming years too. While the benefits of online NEET 2025 are compelling, the transition of NEET UG from offline to online format presents several challenges.
Infrastructure readiness - The NEET UG is conducted for over 24 lakh students which presents the biggest challenge for NTA, which is the readiness of infrastructure for online conduction of NEET. Ensuring all NEET exam centres have robust internet connectivity and systems is crucial for conducting online NEET exam seamlessly.
Need of normalisation - As of now, NEET is conducted in a single shift and hence doesn’t require normalisation. If NEET 2025 is conducted online, the NTA will have to conduct the exam in multiple shifts. Multiple shifts mean that there will be different papers for each shift and hence there will be parity in the difficulty level of NEET question paper. If that's the case, there will be a need for a normalisation process in NEET UG.

To get an MD seat in a deemed university in Mumbai or Maharashtra through NEET PG, the required rank depends on the specialty and competition. Based on previous years' trends:

Mid-Tier Specialties (Pathology, Psychiatry, Anesthesia, etc.) may have cutoffs between 40,000 - 70,000.

Hiii,
So you want to take admission in the BAMS course (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) but your NEET preparation didn’t go well due to some personal reasons. That’s completely okay—don’t lose hope. There are still chances to get into a good private Ayurvedic college with low fees.
First of all, even for private colleges, you’ll need to qualify NEET. The score doesn’t have to be very high if you’re looking for colleges with low cut-offs, especially in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.
Now coming to the colleges – there are some private Ayurvedic colleges where the fees are not too high, and they also accept students with lower NEET scores, especially in the last or mop-up rounds of counselling. Some of these colleges charge around 1.5 to 2.5 lakhs per year, which is quite affordable compared to other private colleges that charge 4–5 lakhs per year.
Here are some examples of such colleges:
-
In Uttar Pradesh, you can check out Dayanand Ayurvedic Medical College in Siwan or Lal Bahadur Shastri Ayurvedic College in Prayagraj. These colleges usually have a low fee structure and give admission through UP state counselling or directly if seats remain.
-
In Madhya Pradesh, there’s Maharishi Ayurveda College in Ujjain, which is quite affordable and takes students with average NEET scores.
-
In Karnataka, Muniyal Institute of Ayurveda in Manipal is known for good quality education and reasonable fees.
-
And in Maharashtra, Bhausaheb Mulak Ayurved Mahavidyalaya in Nagpur is one option you can consider.

Hii There,
It will take a concentrated and planned effort to get ready for NEET 2026 in a year. Begin by fully comprehending the syllabus and exam format, which include biology, chemistry, and physics and are based on the NCERT textbooks for Classes 11 and 12. Make a well-rounded study plan that includes more time for difficult topics and regular revision. Since biology is the foundation of NEET, mastering the NCERT texts is essential. Consult standard textbooks such as O.P. Tandon for Chemistry, NC Verma for Biology, and HC Verma for Physics for a deeper understanding. Speed, accuracy, and time management can all be enhanced with consistent practice using past year's question papers and mock exams.
Include revision in your daily routine, paying particular attention to important ideas, equations, and diagrams. Maintain a healthy lifestyle by getting enough sleep, eating a balanced meal, and taking pauses throughout study sessions to prevent burnout. Enrolling in a coaching class might offer structured advice if necessary. Above all, maintain your motivation, monitor your development, and remember your objective. The secret to passing the NEET in a year is consistency and astute study techniques.
