As per the NEET MDS analysis of previous years', the topics or subjects which have a higher difficulty level as compared to the others are Oral Pathology and Oral Microbiology, and Oral Medicine and Radiology. The weightage of these topics were also higher than other topics. According to the students, the number of image-based questions was higher as compared to last year. Moreover, the theoretical questions were tricky in nature, and not direct. 

The difficulty level of NEET MDS exam is generally moderate. According to the student reactions shared with Shiksha.com, the NEET MDS 2025 was easier than that of the previous year.
