The National Testing Agency, NTA will soon release exam calendar with details of all important exams including NEET, CUET, JEE. National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, NEET UG 2025 is expected to be conducted on May 4, 2025. Chances are high that NTA may change the exam pattern on the recommendation of expert committee.
The Expert panel, which was formed in response to the NEET exam paper leak, will submit its report to the Supreme Court soon. Minimising outsourcing of staff and exam centres, holding maximum entrance exams online and capping the number of attempts in major entrances are among the measures being recommended by a high-level panel set up by the Centre.

The SC on October 21, provided Centre with an additional time of two weeks to submit the report. The panel is led by former ISRO Chief R Radhakrishnan. "The report is almost ready. Several recommendations are being made to streamline the functioning of NTA and the conduct of major entrance exams in the country," a source told PTI.
"The panel held 22 meetings to address the complexities involved in conducting such large-scale exams, the risks and the security measures. The panel had also sought suggestions from stakeholders including students and parents and took into account over 37000 suggestions received," the source said.
One of the many recommendations that panel is likely to submit to the SC is opting for sybrid exams where switching to online mode is completely not feasable. The panel is also expected to recommend capping the number of attempts in major exams including medical entrance NEET and reducing the role of outsourced staff and centres to ensure sanctity of exams is not affected.
The report is expected to be submited to court next week. If reports are to be trusted, chances are high that NTA may change the exam pattern of all the big exams including NEET. Till date, there is no cap on number of attempts for NEET exam. Candidates are advised to keep an eye on NTA official website for not missing updates.
