NEET SS

No, NBE does not release NEET SS syllabus. Hence, there is no specific list of topics or chapter-wise weightage. But based on expert suggestions and students' views, preparing from the postgraduate study materials would suffice. NEET SS test-takers should complete their course syllabus and solve as many mock tests or past years' question papers to complete the NEET SS syllabus. 

NEET SS is a super speciality medical entrance exam. It is a doctorate level exam conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) for the admission to Doctorate of Medicine (DM), Master of Chirurgiae (MCh) and Doctorate of National Board (DrNB) courses. To appear for this exam, candidates must have completed their post graduation in medical or in the final year of MD and MS. 

The mode of the NEET SS exam is online, or computer-based. The NEET SS question paper or the subject-wise questions will be displayed on screen and candidates have to answer the questions by clicking on the correct answer option with the help of a mouse. Since the questions are objective, they need not type any answer. They will be provided sheets of paper to carry out rough work. Since NEET SS is a computer-based test and not computer-adaptive test, test-takers will be able to go through all questions and select the sequence of answering as per their convenience. 

According to a notification released by NBEMS, there was a time-bound sectional demarcation of questions for NEET SS. There are three sections carrying 50 minutes and 50 questions each. Unless a section is over, candidates cannot proceed to the next section. Once the next section begins, the questions of previous sections cannot be reviewed or changed. 

The NEET SS exam date is decided by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), the exam conducting authority. NBEMS sets the NEET SS date as per the instruction by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) as well as the Ministry of Education (MoE). Certain factors are kept in mind before deciding the exam date such as the timeline of the postgraduate medical courses, internship completion, exam date of other similar entrance exams such as INI SS, and other factors such as elections, festivals, etc. In case the pre-decided date is impacted, the exam date is rescheduled. 

No, NEET SS exam is conducted once a year, albeit in two days and two slots window. For a particular academic year, candidates have to appear for the NEET SS exam on the given date and slot, based on the papers or subjects selected by them. The exam date and time for NEET SS will be informed to candidates through the admit card. Unless candidates appear for NEET SS in the given slot, they will not be given a second chance to take admission in the particular session. 

The NEET SS 2024 applications were invited from February 4 to 24, 2024. The NEET SS 2025 application form was available from November 5 to 25, 2025. Hence, the application dates were not the same as last year. 

No, the NEET SS 2024 exam did not get postponed. The NEET SS 2024 exam was conducted on March 29 and March 30, 2025, as per the schedule. The National Board of Examiations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) announced the exam dates on September 13, 2024. NBEMS released the NEET SS 2024 application form on February 4, 2025, and the last date was February 24, 2025.
