Expected Exam Pattern Changes in NEET 2022

  • Will NEET 2022 be conducted online? With rising COVID-19 cases, it is being speculated that the exam may take place in an online mode. However, there are thin chances of this happening. Now whether or not it actually happens, only the official exam notification will tell. 
  • Will NEET be conducted twice for 2022? It is being assumed that the exam may take place in two phases to accommodate the large pool of interested candidates in compliance with the COVID safety norms. However, there has not been any validation from the officials yet.
  • Will NEET be cancelled in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra? No, the exam will continue to be the only gateway to medical and dental courses like MBBS, BDS, etc, in India. 
  • Will NEET 2022 become tough after the changed paper pattern is implemented? No, as of now, there will be no changes in the paper pattern, which in turn means that the difficulty level will not change for NEET 2022.
