NEET UG Exam 2025 Major Updates
This year, many new updates were introduced by NTA in conduction of NEET UG 2025 exams:
City selection process
This year, candidates will be able to choose three cities for their exam centre while filling out the NEET 2025 application form. The students must select these cities in order of preference, restricted to the state of the student’s addresses, either permanent or present address, ensuring travel convenience for all applicants.
Exam Centres in India
The total number of exam centres in India for NEET UG 2025 has been reduced to 552, five lesser than last year. The number of international exam cities has remained the same at 14.
No Optional Questions In NEET UG 2025
With the updated exam pattern, there will be no optional questions this year, streamlining the exam format.
NEET UG Tie-Breaking Method Revised
In the information bulletin released for academic session 2025-26, in any case of tie-breaking situation, where two or more candidates score the same marks, an independent expert committee will now resolve the tie using a “random process," to ensure fair marking. This new method follows last year’s omission of the application number and age criteria from the tie-breaking rules.
Extended Centre Opening Time
This year, the centres will open three hours before the exam starts, previously which was for two years. The exam will be held from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with centres opening at 11:00 AM to allow candidates extra time for entry, security checks, and other necessary procedures.
