Change in NEET 2025 Question Paper Pattern
This year the NEET 2025 pattern of question paper has seen psychological change especially the coding type of the question sets. In contrast to the prior years when papers were divided into the alphanumeric codes composed of six subsets, NEET 2025 was simplified as there were four sets of papers having the numbers 45, 46, 47, and 48 (and no subsets were involved). This will be a big change in comparison to the conventional pattern that has been followed by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Other changes that have had an influence besides this change include a decrease in amount of NEET applicants. According to the official information published by NTA, NEET 2025 has been registered by 22,76,909 candidates 0, unlike last year, the number of registered persons, the data is reduced. Such switch in the format of the question paper and the number of the candidates is the change that demonstrates the new stage of the NEET UG examination.
