Med aspirants term NEET-UG as ‘unusually tough' & long

Mumbai: Many medical aspirants who took NEET-UG 2025 on Sunday were disappointed with the question paper. They found it "unusually tough" and "lengthy". Last year, the test was marred by discrepancies, irregularities and alleged malpractices, and this time, the paper could lead to lower cutoffs for admissions, claimed teachers. Last year, 67 students scored full marks, but the numbers went down after a review. This year, scoring higher marks will be difficult, but the scoring is relative and the difficulty level was the same for everyone and, therefore, students need not worry about the results, they said.

"Last year, even a student with full marks would have been ineligible for AIIMS-Delhi before the review. But this year, scoring high will be very difficult and the cutoffs could go down by 30-50 marks. (For instance, if govt colleges in any state closed at 630 last year, it can drop to 600 this year, out of 720) But students need not worry as the scores and ranks will be relative and the paper was tough for everyone," said Cholera, adding that a few questions were even out of NCERT books' scope. tnn
