The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has opened a special window for students who took the NEET SS 2025 exam. This window allows candidates to challenge certain questions in the exam paper if they find any errors. Students can raise these challenges until December 30, 2025 .
NEET SS stands for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for Super Speciality. It is a very important exam for doctors who want to study further in super speciality medical courses like DM, MCh, and DNB across India. These courses help doctors specialize even more in their field, such as cardiology or neurosurgery. The NEET SS 2025 exam was conducted in computer-based test (CBT) mode, meaning it was taken on computers.
Challenge Window Open for NEET SS 2025
NBEMS has opened the challenge window for the NEET SS 2025 question paper. This means candidates can tell the exam board if they think a question or its answer choices had a mistake. This step happens before the final exam results are declared.
Students can only challenge questions that have clear technical errors. This means mistakes like a question being unclear, having wrong options, or having more than one correct option. Challenges about how difficult a question was will not be accepted. Students must provide proof from official medical books or scientific papers to support their challenge.
