நீதிமன்ற தீர்ப்பையும் மீற முடியாது எனத் தெரிந்தும் பொய் சொல்லும ஸ்டாலின் எடப்பாடி

Here are some key recent updates about the NEET (UG) / related exams in India, along with what they mean for aspirants:

🔍 Major Updates

Shift toward online mode for NEET-UG
The National Testing Agency (NTA) and the Ministry of Education are exploring the possibility of conducting NEET UG in a computer-based (online) mode in future years.

If implemented, this could change preparation strategy (time management, interface familiarity)

Important for aspirants to stay updated with any official circulars

Counselling & seat-matrix changes for NEET-UG 2025

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has revised the seat-matrix for MBBS courses: over 9,000 new MBBS seats added for academic session 2025-26.

The final (or stray-vacancy) counselling rounds for NEET UG 2025 have commenced/are ongoing.

This offers an extra opportunity for candidates who missed earlier rounds.

Exam irregularities & controversies

For NEET-UG 2025, there were reports of exam booklet errors (e.g., jumbled pages) in places like Sikar & Gujarat.

A major allegation: the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) uncovered a scam involving mark‐manipulation in NEET-UG 2025, with Maharashtra doctor and NTA officials implicated.

Such issues highlight that aspirants should retain evidence (admit card, response sheets, etc) and stay vigilant about official announcements.

Exam result and answer-key updates

The provisional and final answer keys for NEET-UG 2025 were released and the results declared by mid-June.

For the postgraduate exam (NEET (PG)), the 2025 exam was also completed and score/answer key processes are underway.

Sensitive student-welfare/mental-health concerns

There have been tragic instances of suicide among students who had cleared NEET or were preparing for it, allegedly due to pressure and mental-stress.

This underscores the importance of mental wellness, seeking support, balancing preparation with rest, and realistic goal setting.

📝 What this means for aspirants in Tamil Nadu / India

If you’re preparing for NEET (UG or PG), keep an eye on official notifications from NTA, NMC, MCC (for counselling) — because exam mode, seat structure, counselling windows are subject to change.

With more MBBS seats being added, the competition dynamics may shift slightly (though competition remains intense).

Be aware of the possibility of online or hybrid mode in coming years — invest time in computer-based test practice (mock tests etc).

Document everything (admit card, responses) and stay alert to any discrepancies in exam conduct.

Balance your preparation: Hard work matters, but mental health, rest, proper strategy matter more than just cramming.

Here’s the tentative schedule for the NEET (UG) 2026 exam (for undergraduate medical admissions) that you should note — especially useful if you’re preparing from Tamil Nadu or anywhere in India. Keep in mind that these dates are expected based on past trends; the official notification from the National Testing Agency (NTA) must be checked when released.
