Ever since the National Testing Agency (NTA) announced that the NEET 2025 exam will be conducted in a paper-pencil-based mode and a single day and slot, students and aspirants have asked NTA to announce the exam date and pattern.

Although the estimated date for NEET 2025 is Sunday, May 5, 2025, unless it is officially announced, it cannot be considered final. The NEET 2025 aspirants are getting anxious over the ambiguity and the delay in the exam date announcement.

So far, NTA has launched the NEET 2025 official website, released the NEET 2025 syllabus, the mode and shift of the exam, along with announcing the implementation of APAAR ID and updation of data to the Aadhaar number. Hence, the aspirants are demanding NTA to release the NEET 2025 exam date soon.

Some have even speculated that the NEET 2025 exam may be held in the second or third week of May or in June 2025.

Will the NEET 2025 Exam Pattern Remain the Same?

There have been a number of speculations regarding the NEET 2025 exam pattern. There are speculations that the optional questions or Section B of the NEET 2025 question paper may be removed. In that case, the total exam duration may get slashed from 200 minutes to 180 minutes. Here is what students have to say.   

NTA has stated that the NEET 2025 registration process will commence in due course of time. Hence, it is estimated that the process will begin in February 2025, or the first week of March 2025, along with the release of the official notification and information bulletin.
