NEET PG 2024 exam pattern revised! NBE introduces time-bound sections in all its computer-based tests- NEET SS, NEET MDS, FMGE and more

New Delhi- NEET PG 2024 exam will now have time-bound sections. The announcement in the exam pattern was recently made by the National Board of Examination (NBE) which has decided to introduce mandatory time-bound sections in all its MCQ-based examinations, such as NEET-PG, NEET-MDS, NEET-SS, FMGE, DNB-PDCET, GPAT, DPEE, FDST and FET which are conducted on a computer-based platform.

According to the NBE notice, this measure has been implemented to enhance the security and sanctity of the exams in light of emerging threats during the examination process.

On this, NBE has released a notice detailing the mandatory timed sections in MCQ-based examinations.

"In NEET-PG 2024, if there are five time-bound sections (A, B, C, D & E) in the question paper, each section will have 40 questions and 42 minutes of time allotted. Candidates will be restricted from proceeding to the next section until they complete the allotted time for the previous section. Additionally, candidates will not be allowed to review the questions or modify their responses for a section after the completion of its allotted time. The questions for the next section will start automatically after the completion of the allotted time for the previous section."

"Candidates are given the option to mark any question, whether attempted or not, for review. This means that candidates can go through these marked questions in a section again before the allotted time for that section ends. It is important to note that questions marked for review will be evaluated according to the marking scheme as mentioned in the Information Bulletin of the respective examination" the notice said.

The actual number of time-restricted sections in an examination may vary based on the total number of questions in the question paper and the operational feasibility of creating such sections

Such mandatory time-bound sections will be implemented in GPAT 2024, NEET-PG 2024 and all forthcoming computer-based tests conducted by NBEMS. The scheme of examination mentioned in the Information Bulletin of NEET-PG 2024/GPAT 2024 should therefore be read accordingly, the notice added.

The registration process for NEET PG 2024 is going to end today at 11:55 PM. The exam will be conducted on the computer-based platform at various examination centres across the country on June 23, 2024, and the result will be declared by July 15, 2024.
