After months of chaos, endless speculation about single shifts versus double shifts, and the never-ending debate on normalisation, NEET PG 2025 was finally conducted on August 3rd in a single change.
To truly understand what students went through and how the paper was structured, we ran a detailed survey, and hundreds of aspirants shared their experiences with honesty, clarity, and emotion. The result? A Unfiltered, real look at NEET PG 2025, backed by actual data and student feedback, no filters, no fluff.
NEET PG 2025 Exam Analysis: Based on the Students’ Feedback
Q.1 How did you find the overall difficulty level?
The majority like 85% students, found the exam moderate to tough. Event students also mentioned that it wasn’t just tough… it was mentally exhausting. The options were confusing and time-consuming.
Q.2 Estimated number of questions attempted confidently
70% + students managed to attempt 181+ questions confidently — showing that good preparation and presence of mind still go a long way. That means the cutoff may go high for this year.
Q.3 Did the questions come from PYQs / PYTs?
Most students agreed that questions were inspired by previous years but not directly lifted. They were twisted, integrated, and concept-driven.
So, if your prep relied only on memory-based PYQs without understanding the logic behind them, you probably had a tough time.
Q.4 Section A (Pre‑clinical: Anatomy, Physio, Biochemistry) – Difficulty level.
Section A (Pre-Clinical):
Majority of students found it difficult, with Anatomy leading the complaints. Image-heavy, concept-light, and confusing.
Q.5 Section B (Para‑clinical: Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic, SPM) – Difficulty level:
Once again, difficulty took the crown. PSM and Microbiology left students puzzled. The questions weren’t unfamiliar, but the framing and options made them tricky.
Q.6 Section C (Clinical: Medicine, Surgery, OBG, Pediatrics, ENT, Ophthalmology) – Difficulty level:
Expected to be scoring — but no mercy here. A massive percentage marked it tough. Medicine, Surgery, OBG — all came with multi-layered questions.
Q.7 What Subjects Troubled Students the Most?
In the survey, the word “Anatomy” appeared over and over again. Students mentioned confusing visuals, IBQs (Image-Based Questions), and unexpected clinical correlations.
Other repeated pain points:
- PSM for being too factual
- Medicine for its exhausting placement at the end
- Pharmacology for integration with other subjects
- Biochemistry has been lengthy and unrelatable in the final days
Q.8 What Kind of Questions Were Asked?
- Less than 20% were straight recall
- The majority were clinical scenarios
- A large chunk was analytical/conceptual
So, yes, concepts ruled over cramming. Understanding how and why something works was more important than mugging up.
Q.9 How Did Cerebellum Academy Help?
