About NEET PG 2025

Held in a single shift from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM across 301 cities and 1,052 test centers, the exam was a computer-based test comprising 200 multiple-choice questions with a total of 800 marks. Each correct answer earned 4 marks, while a negative marking of 1 mark applied for incorrect responses.
