In a recent notification, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced significant changes to the structure of NEET-SS 2024, in line with efforts to fortify the security and integrity of computer-based exams. These changes will apply to all NBEMS MCQ-based examinations, including NEET-PG, NEET-MDS, NEET-SS, FMGE, DNB-PDCET, GPAT, DPEE, FDST, and FET, as mentioned in their notice dated 4th May 2024.

Key Changes for NEET-SS 2024:

1. Introduction of Mandatory Time-Bound Sections: The NEET-SS 2024 question paper will now be divided into three sections—Section A, Section B, and Section C. Each section will contain 50 questions, with a strict time limit of 50 minutes allocated for completion.
2. No Review or Modification After Time Completion: Candidates will be unable to move on to the next section until the time allotted for the current section has expired. Once the time for a section is completed, candidates will not be allowed to review or modify their responses. The next section will automatically begin once the previous section’s time has concluded.
3. Demo Test Availability: To help candidates prepare, a demo test will be available on the NBEMS website. The demo test can be accessed under the NEET-SS 2024 Application Link webpage starting from 20th March 2025.

These new measures are aimed at enhancing the sanctity and security of the examination process, addressing emerging threats, and ensuring a fair and streamlined testing experience for all candidates.

For further details, candidates are advised to regularly check the official NBEMS website for updates.
