NEET-UG
Conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA), which has conducted NEET (UG) since 2019 with the approval of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and the Ministry of Education. The test is mandated as a common, uniform national entrance test under Section 14 of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 (and the corresponding sections of the NCISM Act 2020 and NCH Act 2020). The syllabus is notified by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
Single national entrance test for admission to undergraduate medical and allied courses in India: MBBS, BDS, and the AYUSH courses BAMS, BUMS, BSMS and BHMS, plus B.Sc. Nursing at selected central institutes. The NEET score is also used for admission to BVSc & AH (veterinary) courses under the 15% VCI quota in recognised veterinary colleges. Indian citizens and OCI cardholders who intend to pursue an undergraduate medical or dental course at a foreign institute must also qualify NEET (UG).

+4 for a correct or most appropriate answer, -1 for any incorrect option marked, 0 for unanswered. Official wording: '(i) Correct answer or the most appropriate answer: Four marks (+4) (ii) Any incorrect option marked will be given minus one mark (-1). (iii) Unanswered: No mark (0).' The bulletin also specifies remedies for defective questions: if more than one option is correct, +4 goes to candidates who marked any of the correct options; if all options are correct, +4 goes to all who attempted; and if no option is correct, or the question is wrong or dropped, all candidates who appeared receive +4 whether or not they attempted it.
A guess only adds marks if you are right more than once in every five guesses, so a blind pick from four options (25%) is marginally positive and eliminating even one option makes attempting clearly worthwhile — but wild guessing on questions you cannot narrow at all is close to a coin-flip against you.
The calendar, and who can sit it.
- Qualification
- Pass in 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as a compulsory subject, including practical tests in the science subjects. The bulletin recognises seven qualifying-examination codes (01-07), which also cover the Pre-professional/Pre-medical examination, the first year of a three-year degree course with Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology, and a B.Sc. with at least two of Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, in each case provided the earlier qualifying examination was passed with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English. A candidate whose qualifying-examination result has not yet been declared may be provisionally permitted to sit the test, but cannot be admitted to a course until the eligibility criteria are met.
- Age
- 17+
- Attempts
- No limit. The Information Bulletin prescribes no restriction on the number of attempts — this is established by the absence of any such restriction in the official bulletin, not by an explicit NTA sentence saying so. Candidates may appear as often as they wish provided they continue to meet the other eligibility criteria.
- Nationality
- Indian Nationals, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) and Foreign Nationals are all eligible to appear. NRI and OCI applicants must upload supporting documentary proof, and Foreign Nationals must furnish a certificate from the competent authority in their country of nationality.
NEET-UG preparation FAQs
How do I start preparing for NEET in JupiteX?
Select NEET in Exam Mode and open Learn. Choose Physics, Chemistry, Botany or Zoology, select a topic and open a teaching card. Read the explanation, try its self-check when available, then use Drill to practise answering questions on what you are learning.
How is NEET Learn different from a practice test?
Learn opens teaching cards organised by subject and topic. A card explains a concept through available teaching perspectives and may include a figure or self-check. Drill is the place to answer a practice set, while Mock Papers is for attempting a published test and reviewing its report.
How can I see another explanation of a NEET concept?
Open a teaching card in Learn and select another teaching perspective above the explanation. The question stays the same while the explanation changes. Use this when one approach does not make sense, then try the card's self-check if it has one.
How do I use the self-checks in NEET Learn?
Open a Learn card that includes Self-check and select Test yourself on this. Choose an answer to see the feedback. If you miss it, revisit the card's explanation or switch teaching perspectives before moving on. Self-checks appear only on cards that include them.
Can I study NEET diagrams inside JupiteX?
Open a Learn card with a figure and select the figure to enlarge it. Read the explanation alongside the visual so you can connect the labels with the concept. Some topics also display a linked 3D lesson; figures and 3D lessons are available only where included.
How do I practise NEET previous-year papers in JupiteX?
Open PYQ Papers in the NEET menu. Choose from the available papers and use the year filter to narrow the list. Open a paper's brief, check its question count and duration, then start. After submitting, open the report to review your answers.
How do I create a NEET practice set for my weaker subjects?
Open Drill, choose the length and adjust the question mix under By subject. Select Timed or Open book mode before starting. You can also choose a weak topic from Progress to begin targeted practice instead of setting up a mixed set yourself.
What should I do after finishing a NEET drill?
Read the Tally screen to see accuracy and the subject breakdown. Open the wrong-question review to revisit missed answers. When a recommended next drill appears under your next move, use it to practise the area identified by that session.
How do I take a full NEET mock test in JupiteX?
Open Mock Papers, select an available test and read The brief before starting. The brief shows the paper's length, duration and sections. Submit your attempt to open The report, where you can review section results and filter the question review to wrong answers.
Where can I see my weak areas in NEET preparation?
Open Progress for the subject breakdown and recorded activity. Where the app identifies weak topics, select one to open a focused drill. The report from a completed mock also helps you decide which subject to practise next; new accounts need practice history before those comparisons are useful.
How do I revise NEET topics I have already practised?
Open Progress and choose Review. The review screen lists topics currently due for another attempt; select a topic to start its drill. Return to Learn if you need to reread the concept before trying the questions again.
How do I return to saved NEET questions?
Open Saved from the NEET menu. Use All, Learn or PYQ to filter bookmarked questions, then select an entry to reopen its reader. Questions with a bookmark control can be saved for later; use Learn's subject and topic list to return to teaching cards.
