Factors behind the NEET 2025 registrations drop

The NEET 2025 total registration has seen a drop of over 1 lakh candidates. Some of the reasons behind this NEET 2025 registrations drop are as follows -

1. Limited number of seats

While the competition level of the NEET UG exam has increased with the increasing number of applicants, the total seats under the NEET UG exam has not increased to that extent. This limited number of seats has reduced the interest of students from the NEET UG exam and they are now looking for alternative career options.

2. No extension of NEET registration window

With no NEET registration window extension, many students who couldn’t register for the exam before the last date of NEET 2025 registration, couldn’t fill their NEET application form . The NEET 2025 registration last date was March 7. NTA generally extends the registration window of the NEET exam allowing more candidates to register.
