NEET Exam Date 2025 (Soon): Application Form, Exam, & Result Dates

The National Testing Agency (NTA) is likely to announce the NEET 2025 exam date in January 2025. NTA will consider various aspects such as the schedule for other national level undergraduate entrance exams, Board exams, and other factors while deciding the date. Announcing the NEET 2025 date in advance will ensure that candidates get enough time to prepare for the exam. Last year, NTA announced NEET exam date as part of a common exam calendar, consisting of JEE Main, CUET and UGC NET dates. However, this year the JEE Main dates have been announced but other exam dates, especially NEET 2025 date is yet to be announced.

According to NTA a candidate can appear for NEET any number of times. There is no restriction on the number of attempts permitted. Moreover, ever since the upper age limit of NEET has been removed, there is even more flexibility in terms of the number of NEET attempts.

The exam is conducted once a year, hence candidates can appear only once in an academic year. But unless candidates fulfil the eligibility criteria, they would not be able to get admission even if they score the qualifying cutoff marks for NEET.

Based on the past few years' trends, it is likely that the NEET 2025 exam will be conducted in the first week of May 2025, tentatively Sunday, May 4, 2025, from 2 PM to 5.20 PM. NTA will announce the exam date through an official notice or exam calendar. It is expected that the exam will be conducted as per the previous years' trends, and there will not be any delay in the exam.

As per the previous years' trends, it is expected that the NEET 2025 dates will be scheduled in the same timeline as last year. So far, there has been one change observed this year. While last year NEET exam date was announced in September 2023, along with a common exam calendar, this year, the date has not been announced even till January 2025. Based on the trends followed by NTA for other entrance exams, it is assumed that the NEET 2025 exam date will be announced along with the release of the application form approximately two months before the exam date, which is either fourth week of February 2025 or first week of March 2025. 

NTA is expected to start the NEET 2025 registration in the first week of March 2025. The last date of application will be scheduled in the first week of April 2025. Based on student requests and other external factors, NTA may extend or reopen the NEET application window by mid-April. NEET 2025 is expected to be conducted in the first week of May 2025. NEET 2025 application process will be conducted online. Candidates have to fill and submit the application form in an online mode along with the payment of the application fee. 

The NEET 2025 admit card is likely to be released by the National Testing Agency (NTA), in the first week of May 2025, approximately three to four days before the exam date. Although the date of the exam has not been announced yet, it is likely that NEET 2025 will be held in the first week of May 2025. Accordingly, the NEET admit card 2025 will be released either in the fourth week of April 2025 or the first week of May 2025. 

Prior to the release of the NEET admit card, NTA releases the advance intimation of exam city slip. The document mentions the city of the NEET exam centre allotted to candidates. Generally, NTA does not release the NEET admit card release date in advance. Candidates will have to log in to the NEET website with the registration credentials to download the admit card of NEET 2025. 

NTA releases the NEET advance intimation to exam city slip around 10 days before the exam date. The document has to be downloaded online by logging in to the exam website with the registration credentials. The advance intimation to exam city slip carries the name of the city where candidates' NEET exam centre will be located. The actual exam centre address will be provided on the NEET admit card. 

While NTA does not postpone the NEET exam date in general, it is common for NTA, the exam conducting authority to extend or postpone the dates of application form submission last date or the application correction last date. There have been instances in previous years where NTA had reopened the NEET application process or the NEET application correction window as a response to student requests or other internal reasons. On the other hand, last year, NTA had announced the NEET 2024 result date in advance, which was June 14, 2024, but was preponed by 10 days, and was released on June 4, 2024. Hence, the NEET 2025 important dates may get extended or postponed. 

In general, the NEET exam is conducted in the first week of May every year. In the years between 2020 and 2022, or the pandemic years, the schedule took a toll and the NEET UG exam was conducted in September and later in July. Since 2023, NEET is being conducted in the first Sunday of May. Accordingly, it is expected that the NEET 2025 exam will be conducted on Sunday, May 4, 2025, from 2 PM to 5.20 PM. 

Although earlier NTA was mulling the idea of conducting NEET twice a year, now it has been confirmed that the exam will be held only once a year in a paper-pencil based mode. NTA communicated this information through an RTI response where it was stated that NEET will be conducted once a year. This has quashed the possibility of conducting NEET twice a year. However, the NTA expert committee headed by ISRO Chief K. Radhakrishnan has recommended conducting NEET twice a year, but there has not been any official confirmation on it yet. 

As of now, the NEET 2025 exam date has not been announced by the National Testing Agency (NTA). It is expected that NEET 2025 will be conducted on Sunday, May 4, 2025. As of now, there is no such information about the NEET 2025 exam getting postponed. In general, an exam date is postponed owing to external factors such as natural calamities, political unrest, pandemic or epidemic, elections, etc. Since the exam date has not been announced yet, and there is no such situations, it is likely that the exam will be conducted as per schedule and not get postponed or rescheduled. 

The NEET exam date is decided by the National Testing Agency (NTA), the exam conducting body, on behalf of the Ministry of Education. NTA decides the NEET exam date after analysing several internal and external factors such as the previous year's exam date, Board exams and other entrance exam dates, elections, festivals, to name a few. 

Although earlier NTA was mulling the idea of conducting NEET twice a year, now it has been confirmed that the exam will be held only once a year in a paper-pencil based mode. NTA communicated this information through an RTI response where it was stated that NEET will be conducted once a year. This has quashed the possibility of conducting NEET twice a year. However, the NTA expert committee headed by ISRO Chief K. Radhakrishnan has recommended conducting NEET twice a year, but there has not been any official confirmation on it yet. 

Yes, there is a high chance of NTA to extend the last date of NEET 2025 application form submission. As per past years' trends, NTA extends or reopens the NEET application window every year, either as a response to student requests or due to some external factors such as server errors or non-functioanlity of exam website. However, candidates are advised not to wait till the last minute, or wait for the extension of application last date, and complete the process at the earliest possible. 

Last year, NTA released the NEET 2024 application form on February 9, 2024. The last date to register and pay the application fee was extended from March 9, 2024, to March 16, 2024, 10.50 PM. NTA reopened the NEET 2024 application window from April 9 to April 10, 2024, based on student and stakeholder requests. 

NTA is expected to conduct the NEET 2025 application process from March to April 2025. Candidates are given the opportunity to pay the NEET application fee for a couple of more hours after the conclusion of the registration process. Last year, the application or the registration window closed at 10.50 PM, after which the application fee could be paid till 11.50 PM on the same date. 

It is important to complete the NEET 2025 application process by paying the requisite application fee. Unless a candidate pays the application fee, the process will not be considered to be complete and he/she will not be eligible to appear for the exam. After paying the application fee, candidates have to save and print the NEET 2025 application confirmation slip till the end of the admission process.

The duration of NEET exam is three hours and 20 minutes. The exam will commence at 2 PM and conclude at 5.20 PM as per the Indian Standard Time (IST). The timing for the international centres varied as per the local timings. NEET is a continuous test with no breaks allowed in between. Candidates needed to report to the exam centre at least one hour prior to the exam timing. Moreover, candidates were not be allowed to leave the exam hall before the stipulated duration as well.

NTA is likely to open the NEET 2025 application correction window in the second week of April 2025. The duration of NEET application correction is generally of two to three days. The application correction window is available only for candidates who will complete the NEET 2024 application process by paying the application fee. There are specific fields which will be available for edit and the rest of the fields will be uneditable, for both Aadhaar verified and Aadhaar non-verified candidates. Prior to starting the correction process, candidates have to check the list carefully and then proceed. There will not be an additional fee required for availing the NEET application correction facility unless there was a change of category impacting the application fee amount.
