As seen from the last three years’ analysis of NEET, the weightage of Class 12 chapters is higher than the Class 11 chapters in the NEET question papers. Hence, students should focus on paying more attention towards NEET Class 12 chapters during the NEET 2024 preparation.
Q: Has NTA removed any city from the NEET 2024 exam city list?
Yes, NTA removed three cities from the NEET 2024 exam city list in India. These three cities are Malegaon in Maharashtra, Rairangpur in Odisha and Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh. However, since other cities have also been added in these states, candidates will be able to select a nearby city as per their convenience. Since NTA limits the state and city choice as per the present address, applicants need not think for long to select the right exam city choices.
Q: Did NTA reconduct NEET 2024 exam?
As per the Supreme Court hearing dated June 13, 2024, the Centre said that the scores of 1,563 candidates who were given grace marks, are cancelled. They were given an option to reappear for the exam which was conducted on June 23, 2024. The result of this test willl be declared by June 30, 2024. The result for those candidates who will not be appearing for the re-NEET 2024, will be considered for that of the May 5 exam, devoid of grace marks.
The NEET 2024 exam was conducted by NTA on May 5, 2024 in 571 cities across India and abroad. Incidents of wrong question paper medium distribution, paper leaks and proxy exam takers were reported in the media after the conduct of the exam. As of now, as many as 13 people have been arrested in allegations of paper leak. This led to unrest among the students and stakeholders and they are demanding for a retest. Moreover, after the declaration of the result, several anomalies were observed which again led to unrest among candidates and a demand for reNEET 2024 resurfaced. NTA formed a Grievance Redressal Committee which reviewed the complaints submitted, and decided to reconduct the exam for 1,563 candidates.
Q: What are the languages in which NEET will be conducted?
NEET will be conducted in 13 languages. Till 2020, NEET was held in 11 languages. NTA increased the number of languages or medium to 13 from 2021 onwards. Malayalam and Punjabi are the latest additions. The list of languages are as follows:
- English
- Hindi
- Bengali
- Urdu
- Assamese
- Gujarati
- Marathi
- Odia
- Kannada
- Tamil
- Malayalam
- Punjabi
- Telugu.
Q: Will marks be deducted for unanswered questions in NEET 2025?
According to the NEET exam pattern, there will be no deduction of marks for unanswered questions. Such questions will not be taken into consideration while calculating the total marks of a candidate. Hence, if candidates are not sure about the answer of a question, it is better to leave it unattempted rather than doing a guess work, to avoid negative marking. Moreover, candidates will not get any marks for attempting extra questions in the Section B. Also, candidates are advised to revise the NEET exam sheet or OMR sheet thoroughly before submitting it to the invigilators.

According to the NEET 2024 exam pattern, there will be 35 and 15 questions in Section A and Section B of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, out of which 10 questions have to be attempted in Section B. Hence, 45 questions are to be attempted in Physics and Chemistry and in Biology, 90 questions have to be attempted, between Zoology and Botany.

NTA announced the NEET 2024 exam date on September 19, 2023. NEET 2024 exam was conducted on May 5. The result of NEET 2024 was declared on June 4, 2024. After the result declaration, several irregularities and anomalies were found in the result and the scoring system. Hence, NTA is reconducting NEET 2024 on June 23, 2024, for 1,563 candidates who were awarded grace marks. The result will be declared on June 30, 2024. The NEET 2024 counselling process for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats is likely to be conducted from July 6, 2024 onwards.
The NEET 2024 application process was conducted from February 9, 2024, to March 16, 2024. The last date of application was extended from March 9, by a week. The application and correction windows were reopened in April. While the NEET exam dates were scheduled in September and July a couple of years ago owing to the pandemic situation, it took a toll on the medical admission schedule. To bridge this gap, NTA conducted NEET in May last year. The trend is being continued for NEET 2024 as well.
