27k sit for NEET UG at 49 Indore centres
Indore: The
National Eligibility cum Entrance Test
(NEET UG) was conducted under strict security arrangements at 49 centres across Indore on Sunday, with more than 27,000 students from the city and nearby districts appearing for the exam. Organised by the National Testing Agency (NTA), the exam was scheduled from 2pm to 5pm, but students began arriving as early as 9am to ensure timely entry.
By 11am, gates were opened for verification and entry, leading to long queues outside examination centres, many of which were private schools, govt schools, and colleges converted into exam venues for the day. Candidates, accompanied by anxious parents, waited in the scorching sun as officials carried out a stringent security and identification process.
Security protocols included biometric verification, facial recognition, and ID checks. The level of scrutiny was so intense that even minor items like hairpins, nose rings, earrings, and sacred threads were not permitted inside. Candidates were asked to remove them at the gates before entering.
A few centres reported technical glitches during the verification process due to issues with tablets and biometric machines, briefly halting the process. However, the problems were resolved within minutes, and entry resumed without major disruption.

Police personnel were stationed at all centres, with jammers installed at sensitive locations to prevent electronic malpractice. Observers and centre superintendents remained alert throughout. A control room was also set up at the Collector's office to oversee coordination and ensure a smooth examination process.
Students from Dhar, Ratlam, Jhabua, Ujjain, Khandwa, and other districts also appeared for the exam in Indore. Those allotted rural centres were facilitated with special bus services. Entry was closed strictly after 12:30 PM.
NEET expert Neeraj Dubey said that the paper was comparatively tougher than last year. Physics focused heavily on numerical and conceptual application, while Botany and Zoology were largely NCERT-based. Chemistry maintained a moderate difficulty level with a mix of factual and analytical questions. He noted that the paper favoured students who rigorously studied NCERT content.
