Attention, NEET UG 2025 aspirants! The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced important updates regarding the question paper pattern and examination duration for NEET UG 2025. In this blog post, we’ll break down the key changes and what they mean for your preparation. We’ve also attached the official public notice in PDF format for your reference.
NEET UG 2025: Reverting to Pre-COVID Format
The NTA has announced that the NEET UG 2025 exam will revert to the pre-COVID format, which means the temporary changes introduced during the pandemic will no longer apply. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Changes in NEET UG 2025 Exam Pattern
- No Optional Questions:
The provision for optional questions (Section B), which was introduced in recent years, has been removed. This means there will no longer be any optional questions in the exam.
2. Total Questions:
The question paper will now consist of 180 compulsory questions:
Physics: 45 questions
Chemistry: 45 questions
Biology: 90 questions (Botany and Zoology combined)
3. Examination Duration:
The total duration of the exam will be 180 minutes (3 hours). The additional time introduced in previous years has been removed.
Why This Change?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the NTA introduced optional questions and extra time to accommodate the challenges faced by students. However, with the situation normalizing, the exam pattern is now reverting to its original format to maintain consistency and fairness.
What Does This Mean for Aspirants?
Focus on All Questions: Since there are no optional questions, you will need to attempt all 180 questions. Make sure to prepare thoroughly for all sections (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology).
Time Management: With 180 questions to be answered in 180 minutes, time management will be crucial. Practice solving questions within the allotted time to improve your speed and accuracy.
No Extra Time: The extra time introduced during the pandemic has been removed, so you’ll need to complete the exam within the standard 3-hour duration.
How to Prepare for NEET UG 2025?
Understand the Syllabus: Familiarize yourself with the NEET UG syllabus and focus on all topics equally.
Practice Previous Years’ Papers: Solve previous years’ question papers to get a feel for the exam pattern and difficulty level.
Mock Tests: Take regular mock tests to improve your time management and identify areas where you need improvement.
