NEET UG 2025 Registration Ends on March 7: Important Dates and Details

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially announced that the registration for NEET UG 2025 will close on March 7, 2025, at 11:50 PM. This marks the final opportunity for medical aspirants to apply for India’s most competitive undergraduate medical entrance examination.

Candidates who wish to pursue MBBS, BDS, Ayurveda, Veterinary Science, Nursing, or related medical courses must complete their registration on the official website, neet.nta.nic.in, before the deadline.

The NEET UG 2025 exam will be held on May 4, 2025, from 2 PM to 5 PM in offline mode (pen and paper). The results are expected to be declared by June 14, 2025.

Why This Deadline Matters

The NEET UG exam serves as the single gateway for admission to medical courses in India, including AIIMS and JIPMER institutions. Missing the registration deadline means losing an entire year of preparation and effort.

Every year, lakhs of students face last-minute technical issues like payment failures, slow servers, or incomplete document uploads. To avoid these problems, students are strongly advised to submit their applications well before the closing time.
