Steps to Register for NEET UG 2025 (once the registration portal is activated)
NEET UG 2025 Information Bulletin
The NTA will soon release the official NEET 2025 information bulletin, detailing crucial aspects such as:
APAAR ID Not Mandatory for Registration
Initially, the NTA had recommended using the APAAR ID for NEET UG 2025 registration. However, it has now been clarified that the APAAR ID is not mandatory. Candidates can complete their registration using other valid credentials.
NEET UG 2025 Exam Pattern
A key change for NEET UG 2025 is the removal of optional questions in Section B. This adjustment marks a return to the pre-COVID format, as the optional section was initially introduced as a temporary measure during the pandemic. Consequently, candidates will now face 180 compulsory questions – 45 each in Physics and Chemistry, and 90 in Biology – within the allotted 180 minutes.
NEET 2025 scores will serve as the gateway to various medical and allied courses, including MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, BSc Nursing, BVSc, and AH programmes.
