NTA Exam Calendar 2025: When will the dates for the JEE, NEET, and CUET exams be released, know here

Soon NTA will release its exam calendar, which will give information to the candidates about the date of the JEE, NEET, and CUET exams.

Every year the National Testing Agency (NTA) releases an exam calendar on its official website which lets the candidates know when the next editions of the entrance exams will be conducted. In such a situation, the students are eagerly waiting for the release of the NTA exam calendar. Last time, the agency released the exam calendar with tentative dates for Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main, National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET-UG), Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for UG and PG and University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET).

When can it be released?

Last year the dates for the 2024 examinations were announced on September 19, 2023. When announced, candidates can check the NTA exam calendar for 2025 at nta.ac.in. In such a situation, it is being speculated that the calendar can be released around September 19.

The exam calendar will release the dates of these exams.

JEE Main is conducted in two phases for admission to graduate courses offered by the National Institute of Technology (NIT), the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IT), and other participating institutes of technical education.

NEET is for admission to graduation courses in medicine offered by all medical colleges in the country.

CUET UG and PG are for admission to graduation and postgraduation in central universities and other participating institutes, while UGC NET is to determine the eligibility of Indian citizens for admission to Assistant Professor, JRF, and PhD.

NTA remained in controversy

The 2024 editions of several entrance exams conducted by the agency were surrounded by controversies over this. The UGC NET June exam was canceled just a day after it was held, with the government saying the integrity of the exam could be compromised. The hybrid (online and offline exam) method adopted for the June edition was dropped during the re-examination, and the agency continued with the previous practice of conducting it in CBT (computer-based test) mode across multiple days and shifts.

After that, the NTA postponed the CSIR UGC NET exam citing "unavoidable circumstances" and "logistic issues". The exam was conducted in July and the results have been declared.

NEET became the biggest case

The most controversial case was NEET UG, in which large-scale irregularities like paper leaks, cheating were alleged. The matter reached the Supreme Court, which refused to cancel the exam and order a re-examination, saying the evidence on record did not indicate a systematic leak of the question paper, indicating a disruption in the sanctity of the exam. However, the court ordered the NTA to re-calculate the NEET UG result, revising the merit list of over 4 lakh candidates, including 44 toppers who were given grace marks for a controversial question.
