This decision ends rumors of a computer-based test (CBT) or multiple phases for the exam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Previous Proposals Set Aside:<\/strong> The NTA Expert Committee, led by former ISRO chief K. Radhakrishnan, had recommended a shift to an online mode and the introduction of multiple phases. However, these proposals have been rejected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Concerns on Exam Security:<\/strong> The decision has ignited debates on social media, with many raising concerns about potential paper leaks and security issues. Some users voiced support for an online exam to reduce the risk of leaks, while others hoped for a fair and transparent process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NEET UG 2024 Controversy:<\/strong> The announcement comes after the NEET UG 2024 exam was marred by allegations of paper leaks and irregularities, leading to protests and legal actions. The NTA\u2019s decision has been met with mixed reactions from aspirants and stakeholders, with many hoping that lessons from the previous year\u2019s issues will lead to a smoother exam in 2025.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exam Dates and Registration:<\/strong> While the exact exam date has not yet been announced, the registration process is anticipated to begin in February or early March 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary:<\/strong><br>The NEET UG 2025 exam will be conducted in a pen-and-paper format on a single day and shift, confirming the traditional exam mode despite previous suggestions for an online CBT and multiple phases.
