NEET UG 2025 Exam Analysis by Experts
In this section we have provided the expert opinions on this year's NEET paper. Candidates can check these reviews and opinions below.
According to Dr. Brajesh Maheshwari, Director of Allen Career Institute Pvt. Ltd., “The NEET-UG 2025 paper was tougher than previous years. The Physics section featured high-standard questions, while Chemistry was lengthy and included multiple correct-order questions—reintroduced after several years—which confused many students. Both Botany and Zoology sections were also lengthy, making time management difficult. With the re-implementation of the pre-COVID pattern and an overall tougher paper, scoring very high this year will be more challenging for students.”
Nitin Vijay, CEO and Founder of Motion Education said, "NEET 2025 saw a definite change in philosophy, it's no longer a question of memorizing textbook lines. The paper called for maturity, clarity of thought, and an ability to think like a doctor, right at the entrance gate. According to academic quarters, this peak in the exam is likely a conscious attempt on the part of the NTA to improve the levels of selection, in accordance with the global trend towards competency-based medical education. The aim appears to be to develop better trained, analysis-sufficient medical professionals, adequate for an increasingly changing healthcare scenario. The paper required a profound conceptual understanding and excellent problem-solving skills."
