NEET 2025 Speculations

Given the massive controversy embroiled around NEET 2024, there are speculations regarding the change of mode in the NEET 2025 exam or even separate NEET exam for different states. As per reports, the Ministry of Education is planning to change the mode of the exam to computer-based, or online, to avoid paper leak incidents. Moreover, the Ministry is also mulling the idea of making the exam two-tier, preliminary and final, to be conducted by two different bodies. While NTA may conduct the preliminary exam, other organisers such as the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) or Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) may be the conducting body for the final NEET exam, 

On the other hand, the state governments of West Bengal and Karnataka have passed resolutions against NEET being the sole medical entrance exam conducted for the entire country, and conducting their own state-level undergraduate medical entrance exams. However, this is still under the planning stage and a final decision is yet to be taken.
