NEET MDS 2025 - New Exam Pattern Explained
The NEET MDS 2025 exam is bringing some significant changes, and it's essential for every aspirant to stay updated. If you're preparing for the upcoming exam, the new NEET MDS exam pattern will play a crucial role in shaping your preparation strategy.
In our latest YouTube video, Dr. Aamir and Dr. Sundari from MERITERS dive deep into the recently released circular from the National Board, which outlines the key changes in the NEET MDS exam format. This is a must-watch for all aspirants, as we discuss how these updates will impact your exam experience and preparation approach.
What’s New in the NEET MDS 2025 Exam Pattern?
In previous years, students were given 240 questions to answer in 3 hours, with the flexibility to review and revisit questions at any time. However, the new NEET MDS 2025 pattern introduces a more structured, time-bound approach, which means that managing time effectively will be more critical than ever.
Here are the major changes in the new pattern, as discussed by our experts in the video:
- Division of Questions into Sections: The 200 questions are now split into five sections, with 40 questions per section. You’ll have 42 minutes per section, totaling 3.5 hours for the entire exam.
- No Going Back: Once you complete a section, it gets locked, and you can’t revisit it. This makes it vital to focus on time management within each section.
- Section-wise Focus: The new format forces you to concentrate on one section at a time, which has its benefits. You won’t need to juggle all 200 questions at once, but it also means you can’t rely on easier sections to save time for tougher ones.
Example of Time-Bound Sections: 5 sections (A, B, C, D, E)
Why You Need to Practice Time Management
The biggest challenge with this new exam pattern is time management. As Dr. Sundari mentions in the video, practice is the key to mastering this new format. Whether you’re a first-time test-taker or someone who has taken NEET MDS before, National Mock Tests are going to be your best tool for getting comfortable with the new time-bound sections.
In the video, Dr. Aamir and Dr. Sundari emphasize the importance of starting mock tests early to get accustomed to the new pattern. Taking national mocks that replicate the new exam structure will help you:
- Familiarize yourself with time-bound sections
- Get a feel for the difficulty level of each section
- Improve your ability to manage time effectively across different sections
How to Tackle the New NEET MDS 2025 Pattern
Based on the insights from the video, here’s how you can tackle the new pattern effectively:
- Start taking mocks early: The sooner you start practicing with section-wise mock tests, the better prepared you will be to manage your time on exam day.
- Focus on time management: With only 42 minutes per section, it's essential to practice solving each question quickly and efficiently. You won’t have the luxury of spending extra time on harder questions and going back to easier ones.
