NEET UG 2025 Registration Kicks Off
The wait is over for aspiring medical students as the National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially opened the registration for NEET UG 2025 as of February 8, 2025. This entrance exam is a crucial step for anyone aiming to join undergraduate medical courses across India. Registration is available through the official portal at neet.nta.nic.in, and hopeful candidates have until March to complete their applications.
Mark your calendars with these important dates: applications close in March 2025, with a correction window opening the same month. The exam is slated for May 4, 2025, giving students a few months to gear up for the big day.
Steps in the Application Process
Applying for NEET UG 2025 isn't rocket science, but it demands precision. Start by registering on the NTA website. You’ll need to provide basic information, set a password, and get a provisional application number. Next, fill out your application form, ensuring every academic, personal, and contact detail is correct. Don't forget to upload scanned documents like your passport photo and signature in the formats specified.
Once you've double-checked everything, it's time to pay the application fee. Options include credit/debit cards, net banking, or UPI. Successfully completing this step will generate a confirmation page for your records.
Here’s a noteworthy tweak: NEET UG 2025 exam will bring back its pre-COVID style with 180 compulsory questions. Be ready to tackle 45 questions each in Physics and Chemistry, and a bulk of 90 in Biology, all within a 180-minute timeframe.
Eligibility is crucial, so make sure you're in line with the age and educational qualifications mentioned in the NEET Information Brochure 2025. An APAAR ID could speed up documentation, but it's not a must-have.
Fees, if overpaid, will bounce back to the original payment method, which ensures peace of mind for many registrants. In March 2025, a correction window will open, allowing applicants to amend details like name, date of birth, and category.
The exam opens doors to several courses including MBBS/BDS, BAMS/BUMS/BSMS, BHMS, and even BSc Nursing for those eyeing Military Nursing Service roles.
