The NEET SS 2024 exam was conducted on March 29 and March 30, 2025, in a window of two days and two slots. According to the test-takers, the difficulty level of the exam was moderate to tough. Those who attempted the exam for the first time found the difficulty level to be very tough. Those who appeared for the second or third time found the NEET SS 2024 difficulty level to be on the moderate to tough lines. Some courses such as Oncology, Critical Care Medicine, and Surgical Groups had higher difficulty levels as compared to other groups. 

Ideally, candidates should preserve the NEET SS admit card till the admission process is over, i.e. till the NEET SS counselling process is conducted and they get allotted a seat, or join a college. NEET SS admit card is often an important document which is checked during the verification round of the counselling process. Moreover, NBEMS might disable the link to download the NEET SS admit card after the conduct of the exam or the declaration of the result, Hence, to be on the safer side, test takers should preserve both the soft and hard copies of NEET SS admit card till the admission process is over.  

In case of any wrong information printed on the NEET SS admit card, be it a misprint or completely wrong information in terms of personal details, photograph, etc. candidates must report to NBEMS immediately by contacting them through their helpline number. Even if NBEMS does not make the necessary changes or issue the rectified NEET SS admit card immediately, candidates are advised to keep a copy of the official email with them to be shown at the exam centre if need be. 

After the NEET SS admit card is released, the centre cannot be changed. Since the admit card of NEET SS is released a few days before the exam date, authorities cannot get the centre changed in such a short notice. In case of an emergency, candidates are advised to contact NBE to change the exam city or centre. Since NBE allots the exam centre in the preferred city, test-takers should not have any difficulty in getting the exam city or centre of their preference.

The NEET SS exam is conducted in two slots for both the exam days. The first slot begins at 9 AM and the second slot begins at 2 PM. The reporting time or the entry to the NEET SS exam centres begins two hours before the commencement of the exam, which is 7 AM for the first shift and 12 noon for the second shift.
