Expected NEET UG 2025 Exam Reforms

According to the reports, there have been many speculations around the changes introduced in the upcoming NEET 2025 Exam. While none of these have been officially confirmed, it is important to know of the possible change in the NEET UG 2025 Exam that may affect the exam structure. A detailed list of the confirmed as well possible changes in the upcoming NEET UG 2025 Exam has been mentioned below for all students to refer to:

  1. ChangesintheExamFormat: There have been talks about the NEET UG 2025 Exam mode to be changed from offline pen-and-paper mode to online exam format in the recent times. Some have also highlighted that the concerned authority may introduce a hybrid exam format wherein the NEET question paper will be sent to the appearing students in digital mode and they have to answer the same in offline pen-and-paper mode. However, with no official declaration of the same, it is safe to assume that the NEET UG 2025 exam will continue to be conducted in the traditional pen-and-paper (offline) format as of now.
  2. SyllabusReduction: As per the official notification, the NEET UG 2025 syllabus has been revised with addition of new topics as well as reductions of a few, persistent to the previous years’ syllabus trends. A new section focusing on medical ethics called 'Ethics, Integrity, and Aptitude in Medical Practice' has been introduced in the Syllabus as well. This change was introduced due to the major reductions in the class 12 Science syllabus by various state boards during the lockdown, now comprising 79 units instead of 97 in total.
  3. TweakedEligibilityCriteria: The National Medical Commission has updated NEET UG 2025 eligibility criteria now allowing students with Biology or Biotechnology as additional subjects in Class 12 to appear in the NEET entrance exam. 
  4. RemovalofOptionalQuestionsinNEET: Rumours are that the optional questions in the NEET UG 2025 Exam are being considered to be removed from the exam pattern, to ensure transparency and fairness in the entrance exam for all. However, this remains a speculation as no official statements have been published regarding the same by the NTA till date.
