We have almost reached the end of January in the new year, 2025. While students, parents, and educational institutions wait for the JEE 2025 and NEET 2025 notifications, recent news suggests that the exams are likely to be delayed. They might get postponed from their usual schedule in January-February to March-April.
Experts have indicated that factors such as the revised academic calendar and other logistical challenges could be the reasons behind this potential delay. The exact exam dates and schedules are yet to be confirmed.
You can expect information related to JEE Main 2025 and NEET 2025 registration dates, exam dates, and schedules on jeemain.nta.nic.in and neet.nta.nic.in, respectively. The JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Main 2025 and NEET 2025 (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) are both conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Unlike the pre-2023 format, the JEE Main exams are now expected to continue with two editions in 2025, streamlining the process.
A delay in these exams is not unprecedented. In previous years, including 2021 and 2022, both JEE and NEET exams faced delays due to various reasons. For 2025, it is anticipated that the JEE Main sessions could be conducted in March and April. However, the NTA is expected to release the official dates soon.
Regarding the NEET 2025 exam, no official reports have yet clarified the exam schedule. However, speculations suggest that the NTA is considering conducting NEET 2025 by late May or early June. Similarly, NEET 2025 registration is anticipated to commence by February 2025, but this remains unconfirmed as of now.
So far, officials from the Education Ministry and NTA have not validated any of the circulating reports and have urged students and stakeholders to rely solely on information released through the official websites. Rumors and speculations have been dismissed, reinforcing the need for patience and vigilance for authentic updates.
Experts have cited several potential reasons for the delay in these competitive exams:
If the NTA opts to conduct JEE Main in March, followed by NEET in May-June, students may face a tightly packed schedule. Such a scenario could be challenging for aspirants balancing board exams and competitive test preparations. Therefore, an official announcement from the NTA will be crucial to provide clarity and allow students to plan effectively.
As for NEET 2025, experts suggest that scheduling it before June seems unlikely. JEE Main, typically conducted first, sets the precedent for NEET’s schedule. Hence, students can expect NEET 2025 to occur in late June or early July.
While we await official updates, students are advised to:
