Reasons for registration drop

The drop may be due to factors such as irregularities in NEET 2024, technical issues in registration, and no extension of the registration deadline for 2025.

Impact of previous year’s NEET results

Controversies in NEET 2024, including paper leaks and result revisions, may have discouraged many students from registering for NEET 2025.

Technical issues in registration

Several students faced technical glitches during the NEET 2025 registration period, leading to difficulties in completing the process.

No registration extension

Unlike previous years, NEET 2025 did not have a registration window extension, which may have contributed to the drop in applications.

Potential impact of registration drop

Fewer registrations may lower competition, possibly resulting in lower cutoffs and increased chances of securing spots in top government colleges.
