NEET 2025 in two phases

To counter NEET paper leaks in future, it was speculated that NTA might conduct the NEET UG 2025 online, then the exam was to be conducted in various shifts due to the increasing number of NEET aspirants every year. As per the media reports, NEET UG 2025 was to be conducted in two phases. However, it is now clear that paper will be conducted in single shift only.

Moreover, NTA conducted the NEET 2020 phase 2 special exam for the candidates who could not appear in the exam in September due to the pandemic.

Again in 2021, the NEET UG exam was postponed to September from the previous schedule of August. However, aside from this unprecedented situation, there have been no major instances of NTA NEET postponed due to other reasons.

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.
