How to Prepare for NEET MDS 2025 with Tentative and Uncertain Exam Dates

The NEET MDS 2025 exam has a tentative date of January 31, 2025, but official confirmation is pending. There is a possibility that the exam might be postponed to late March. This uncertainty can be challenging, but with the right preparation strategy, you can stay ahead of the curve. Here’s a comprehensive guide to tackle this uncertainty and maximize your readiness.

1. Understand the Scenario and Stay Updated

• Monitor Official Notifications: Regularly check official NEET MDS updates and trusted platforms like MERITERS for announcements. Staying informed will help you adapt your schedule accordingly.
