As per NBE latest notice, the aforesaid exams will now have time-bound sections during the entrance exam. It implies that students have to answer MCQs in a specified period.

No Review/ Modification in Answered Questions

For example, in NEET-PG 2024, if there are five time-bound sections (A, B, C, D & E) in the question paper, each section will have 40 questions and 42 minutes of time allotted. Candidates will be restricted from proceeding to the next section until they complete the allotted time for the previous section.” Reads the official notification. 

Why Did NBE introduce Time Bound Section?

Dissatisfaction Highlighted Over Social Media

Dr. Rohan Krishnan wrote on X "We are always against any kind of changes which are last minute. @NbeIndia should refrain from treating young aspirants who are graduate doctors like lab rats. @FAIMA_INDIA_ stands against this last-minute modification in exam/exam patterns. Requesting @NbeIndia to cancel this.”
