NEET UG 2027: NEET UG exam to be conducted in CBT mode; Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan makes the announcement..
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has made a major announcement regarding the NEET UG 2027 examination. Starting next year, the NEET UG exam will be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode. According to the Education Minister, this move will ensure the exam is conducted more securely and transparently.
**What changes will the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode bring to NEET UG 2027?**
Much like the JEE Main exam, the National Testing Agency (NTA) will now conduct the exam online via the Computer-Based Test mode. This will completely eliminate the hassles associated with offline OMR sheets.
**What will be the new exam pattern and process for NEET UG 2027?**
Students and parents might wonder if the change in the exam mode implies changes to the syllabus or exam pattern; the answer is no. The syllabus and exam pattern will remain based on the existing system. As in previous years, the exam will carry a total of 720 marks, featuring questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
**Controversies surrounding OMR sheets**
Following the NEET UG exam and the re-exam, the NTA has faced numerous allegations regarding irregularities with OMR sheets. This step is being taken to ensure greater transparency in the examination process.
It is worth noting that the NEET exam is conducted annually. Based on the rank secured, candidates gain admission to various undergraduate (UG) courses—such as MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery), BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery), and AYUSH courses (BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, BSMS, and BNYS)—at leading medical and dental colleges across the country. Additionally, the scorecard is used for admission to courses like B.Sc. Nursing and B.V.Sc. & AH (Veterinary Science).
