From 2027 the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) UG will transition from traditional OMR sheets to a digital, Computer-Based Test (CBT) format. The current Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced this major shift to enhance exam security, improve transparency, and address past paper leak controversies. Under the existing exam pattern, the offline test consists of 180 multiple-choice questions carrying a total of 720 marks, spanning Physics (45 questions, 180 marks), Chemistry (45 questions, 180 marks), and Biology (90 questions, 360 marks) over a 3-hour duration.

While the question format and section weightage remain established, candidates will now answer questions directly through a computer screen, ushering in a modernized testing process across India.
