The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that the NEET (UG)-2025 exam will be held in the traditional pen-and-paper format (OMR-based) on a single day in a single shift. This decision follows the guidelines the National Medical Commission (NMC) provided.
Earlier, the education and health ministries were considering whether to conduct NEET-UG 2025 as a computer-based test (CBT) or stick to the pen-and-paper format. The Health Ministry, led by JP Nadda, had held discussions with the NTA to evaluate both options. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stated that the NTA was ready to implement whichever mode was chosen. It has been officially confirmed that the exam will continue in the pen-and-paper format, as in previous years.
The NTA has also confirmed that NEET (UG) will serve as a single, uniform entrance exam for undergraduate admissions in various disciplines, including BAMS, BUMS, and BSMS courses under the Indian System of Medicine. Additionally, NEET (UG) will be mandatory for admission to the BHMS course, as per the National Commission for Homeopathy guidelines
Additionally, candidates aspiring to join the Military Nursing Service (MNS) for admission to B.Sc.

The NEET (UG) scores will be used to shortlist candidates for selection into the four-year B.Sc. Nursing program.
Students planning to apply for medical, dental, Ayurveda, and homoeopathy courses after completing Class 12 Science will soon be able to register for the NEET exam. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that, following instructions from the Ministry of Higher Education, students must update their Aadhaar details with information from their Class 10 marksheet before registering for NEET.
Students are also required to link their Aadhaar card to their APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Record) ID, a unique identifier assigned by their school board. This step is essential for the registration and examination process.
The NTA has emphasized that the name on the Aadhaar card must match the name on the Class 10 marksheet. If there are any differences, students must update their Aadhaar details to avoid issues.
Failure to update Aadhaar details as per the Class 10 marksheet may lead to registration problems, and students might not be allowed to appear for the exam.
Therefore, students need to ensure their Aadhaar information is updated and linked to their APAR ID before starting the NEET registration process.
