The National Testing Agency (NTA), the body responsible for conducting the NEET examination, has introduced changes to the NEET UG 2025 exam pattern. The optional questions previously included in Section B have been removed, reverting the test format to its original pre-pandemic structure.
According to the revised pattern, the NEET UG 2025 exam will have no optional questions, and the duration will return to three hours. Candidates will now be required to attempt all 180 questions within the allotted 180 minutes. The question paper will be divided into three sections: Physics and Chemistry will each have 45 questions, while the Biology section will contain 90 questions.
NEET UG 2025 Revised Exam Pattern
Here is the revised NEET UG 2025 exam pattern:
The NTA had earlier announced that the NEET 2025 exam would be conducted offline in a pen-and-paper format, in a single day and single shift.
Additionally, a notification had earlier made it mandatory for candidates to integrate an APAAR ID with their NEET registration form to enhance transparency and prevent impersonation. However, the latest clarification from NTA states that the APAAR ID is not mandatory for filling out the NEET UG 2025 application form.
