Along with the application form, NTA will release key details on eligibility, the application process, and exam dates. NEET UG 2025 will be conducted in the pen-and-paper format, with no optional questions in Section B, marking a return to the pre-pandemic structure. The additional time granted during Covid-era exams will no longer be available.

NEET UG 2025 qualification criteria

Candidates must meet the following minimum percentile to qualify:

• General category – 50th percentile
• SC/ST/OBC – 40th percentile
• PwD (Persons with Disabilities) – 45th percentile

Since these percentiles are relative, the cutoff scores will vary each year depending on the highest marks achieved by candidates.
