The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) – Undergraduate 2025 concluded smoothly in Hyderabad on Sunday.
Barring a few incidents of candidates reaching the examination centre late by a few minutes and denied entry, there were no incidents reported regarding the conduct and any discrepancies in the examination.
Examination centres allowed entry of candidates who stood in queues 11.30 a.m. onwards. Security officials used metal detectors to check any barred items into the exam halls. There were separate enclosures for girls that were operated by women staff.
The question paper, in four sets, carrying subject components of Physics, Chemistry and Biology — Botany and Zoology had 180 questions for a total value of 720 marks.
According to a few students exiting centres near RK Puram and YMCA Secunderabad, Physics questions were understood as very difficult, followed by Chemistry. Biology was easier and mostly text-book based.
Initial reports showed that a candidate in Karimnagar and another in Secunderabad were denied entry into the centre as they were late by a few minutes.
In Hyderabad, District Collector Anudeep Durishetty visited the Government Polytechnic College centre at Masab Tank. In Medchal-Malkajgiri, District Collector Gowtham Potru was at the ZPHS Kukatpally centre to inspect the centre and CCTV units.
