Changes in NEET 2025 [Expected]

NEET 2024 is over. However, the controversy is still ongoing, and the matter is in the Supreme Court. Amid all these controversies, we all know the buzz created by NMC this year by announcing a couple of changes. From reducing the syllabus to raising the application fee, the NMC made a few groundbreaking decisions in 2024. So, what will the NMC plan for making changes in NEET 2025? 

Are you wondering about it and want to know about the expected changes in NEET 2025? Well, no worries. Here, we will discuss all the potential minor and major NEET 2025 changes in detail. So, let’s get started!

Even though it’s unimaginable to predict NMC’s move on NEET, we can still witness some rumours about possible major changes in NEET UG 2025. Even NEET experts are expecting that NMC might make some major and minor changes in the coming year. Let’s have a look at each of them here!

Changes in NEET 2025: Expected

Since we have no official announcement from NMC’s end, let’s see a few possibilities for minor and major changes in NEET UG 2025. Also, not all the points we will discuss here are completely expected. The NMC might or might not announce these changes or adjustments in the coming months.

Syllabus: The NMC made a historic decision by reducing the syllabus for NEET in 2024 from 97 to 79 topics. Well, according to NEET scholars, the NMC might introduce new and updated chapters in the coming year. So, we can expect an extended syllabus for NEET 2025. On the bright side, the NMC might also delete some outdated topics for NEET 2025. However, the NMC doesn’t usually reduce the syllabus two years in a row. So, students must be prepared for the inclusion or exclusion of some topics in the upcoming NEET UG exam.

New Cities and Languages: The applications for NEET 2024 are quite high compared to the last 3 years. This will allow the NMC to expand the exam centres in different cities all over India. Rumours have it that the NMC is looking forward to extending the exam centres to remote towns of India to improve accessibility for all students. Expanding language availability is one of the major changes we might see in NEET UG 2025. The NMC has conducted NEET UG in 13 languages. There is a chance to include more regional languages in the upcoming NEET 2025. 

Duration and Pattern: Changes in exam duration are also among the major changes in NEET 2025. Some rumours state that the NMC might change the duration of the exam just like it did in 2024. Also, there might be changes in changing exam patterns in NEET 2025. Well, the future competition crisis will demand tough exam papers with complex exam patterns so that the NMC can handle the high application to low medical seat situation in India.

Fee Structure: The NMC changes the fee structure of the NEET exam occasionally. Besides, the NMC has to maintain a separate fee structure for different categories as well as foreign applicants. So, we might see some slightest change in fee structure as well in NEET 2025.

Online Availability: It is an age-old question: why is NEET not online? Well, the year 2025 might be the first year for the online NEET exam. Or just not! However, many experts discern that the NMC might consider conducting NEET 2025 online. And this will be one of the biggest NEET changes that NMC will ever announce. So, it’s obvious that NMC will disclose the information as soon as this year’s exam ends. If NMC doesn’t announce soon, there might not be any online NEET 2025.

Change in Exam Conducting Body: It seems unreal to listen, but due to the controversies ongoing about the NEET UG 2024, NTA might have face consequences. Many of the student started to demand of removing NTA from conducting NEET. However there are a few chances of it happening, but here we are talking about the expected changes in NEET 2025; this would be one of them.

Competition Will Be Higher: One change that is constant in every next attempt is the higher completion in the next year. So, this year, we are expecting the same competition will increase in NEET 2025 due to the higher number of applicants, and NTA has the pressure to make the exam tough because of the NEET UG 2024 controversies.

Are There Any Official Changes in NEET 2025 BY NMC?

The NMC has yet to announce anything regarding NEET 2025. Besides, the NMS usually confirms anything until the current session ends (NEET 2024). So, we have to wait a little longer to get updated information about any new modifications or changes in NEET 2025. 

Summary

In conclusion, any changes we have discussed in this guide might or might not come true in NEET 2025. Besides, the NMC announces the changes suddenly. So, covering the syllabus in advance is the best option for the candidates to not get distracted by any sudden changes. After all, a student with a sound study plan will not fear any changes in NEET 2025. 

So, focus on timely preparation for the exam and modify your schedule according to any changes announced by NMC in the future. In this way, you will always be on track and never get frightened or distracted by the tiniest changes.
