When will the NEET 2025 exam date be announced?
NEET UG is the medical entrance exam for undergraduate courses such as MBBS, BDS, BUMS, BAMS, B.Sc Nursing, etc. The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts NEET every year as the sole gateway for admission into various medical colleges. Most of the NEET aspirants aspire to secure an MBBS seat in a top government college. NEET is a highly competitive examination because of the large number of applicants as well as the fewer number of MBBS seats (with respect to the number of aspirants), and securing a seat in a top medical college is a matter of pride for the aspirants as well as their parents. In such a highly competitive examination, it is important for the aspirants that they start preparation early, and this is the reason most of the students are worried about the NEET 2025 exam date. Although the NEET 2025 exam date has not been officially announced yet, based on past year trends, it is very much possible that NEET 2025 will be conducted on the first Sunday of May, that is, 4th May 2025. However, this is just a guess; the actual date would be confirmed after the announcement of NTA. Candidates are announced to note down the important dates so that they can plan their preparation accordingly as well as avoid any last-minute hassle.
