NEET 2024 News and Updates: The NEET 2024 exam was conducted on May 5, 2024. The NEET 2024 admit card was released on May 2, 2024. NTA has stated that the NEET 2024 result will be declared on June 14, 2024.

The NEET 2024 city intimation slip was released on April 24, 2024. NTA reopened the NEET 2024 application correction facility for the third time from April 25 to April 26, 2024, 11.59 PM. Candidates could update or correct their photographs. According to NTA, some candidates' photographs are not as per the prescribed standard or format. Their NEET admit card may be withheld in case they are not as per the guidelines. Hence, this opportunity is given to them once again.

NTA rereleased the NEET 2024 application form on April 9, 2024. The last date to fill and submit the application form was April 10, 2024, by 10.50 PM. The application fee had to be paid by 11.50 PM on the same date. Announcing the reopening of the NEET 2024 application process, NTA has stated, “We have received various representations from stakeholders with a request to re-open the registration window of NEET-UG 2024. Based on the representation, it has been decided to re-open the Registration window of NEET-UG 2024.” After this, the NEET 2024 application correction window was opened from April 11 to April 15, 2024.

The NEET 2024 application form was originally released on February 9, 2024, and the last date of application was March 16, 2024. The NEET 2024 application correction window was open from March 18, 2024, to March 20, 2024. Only those candidates, who completed the NEET 2024 application process, are allowed to edit or make corrections in the selected fields of the application form.

NTA has reversed the tie-breaking criteria to last year's factors. In the revised criteria, the final factor was a computerised draw of lots, which replaced the subject-wise accuracy proportion of candidates, that was followed in the previous years.

As per the notification, NEET 2024 exam centres were not slated to be located outside India. However, as per the NTA announcement dated February 20, 2024, the exam will now be conducted in 14 international cities, like last year. The number of exam cities in India has increased from 499 to 554. The tie-breaking criteria have also been revised.

The NEET 2024 syllabus by NTA was released on November 22, as was reported earlier. The NTA syllabus for NEET 2024 is the same as that released earlier by the National Medical Council (NMC). No other information has been announced by NTA apart from the NEET syllabus 2024 PDF yet.

NMC has announced the revision of the NEET 2024 eligibility criteria. As per this, candidates who have studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as additional subjects are also eligible to appear for the exam. Till last year, applicants had to study these subjects as core papers for their Board exams in order to be eligible for the NEET exam.

The National Medical Commission (NMC) released the NEET 2024 syllabus earlier, which has removed some of the topics from the previous years in each subject, namely, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. On the other hand, some of the topics have been added as well. Unlike previous years, the NMC NEET UG syllabus 2024 is not segregated into Class 11 and Class 12 topics. On the other hand, the Chemistry subject has been divided into Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry sections.

Given the fact that there is a major change in the NEET 2024 syllabus and the NEET 2024 eligibility criteria brought in by NMC, there was a chance that the NEET 2024 exam pattern could change, but it has remained the same. The information bulletin and the complete NEET 2024 notification were released along with the NEET 2024 application form.

Q: What is the date of NEET 2026?

NTA announced the NEET 2024 exam date on September 19, 2023. NEET 2024 exam was conducted on May 5. The result of NEET 2024 was declared on June 4, 2024.

The NEET 2024 counselling process for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats is likely to be conducted from July 6, 2024 onwards.
