Understanding the Revised Exam Pattern for 2025 NEET UG Exams Here\u2019s a closer look at the revised NEET UG 2025 exam pattern: Subject Number of Questions Total Marks Chemistry 45 180 Physics 45 180 Biology 90 360 Total 180 720 You\u2019ll be answering a total of 180 questions, with Biology carrying the most weight.

NEET Exam Marking Scheme 2025 Understanding how the NEET exam is scored can help in estimating the final marks using the official answer key. Here\u2019s how the marking system works: Each question carries 4 marks. Choosing the correct answer gives +4 marks. Selecting a wrong answer results in a -1 mark deduction. Leaving a question blank means no marks are added or deducted. There are some special cases to keep in mind: If a question has more than one correct answer those who select any of the right options will get +4 marks. If all options are correct, then everyone who attempts the question gets +4 marks. If a question is found to be incorrect, has errors, or is removed from the exam, all students get +4 marks, no matter if they answered it or not. This marking system makes it clear how each response affects the final score. Language Options for NEET 2025 NEET 2025 will be conducted in 13 different languages, based on the exam center you choose. It\u2019s important to pick your language carefully during the application process because you won\u2019t be able to change it later. Here are a few things to keep in mind: If you choose English, you will get the question paper only in English. If you choose Hindi, you will receive a bilingual question paper in both Hindi and English. If you select any regional language, you will get a bilingual question paper in that language and English. If there is any confusion in translation, the English version will be considered final.
