On the day of the NEET PG exam, candidates are required to carry the hard copy of their admit cards released on July 31, 2025. Without the admit card, candidates will not be allowed to enter the examination hall.

NEET PG 2025 final preparation tips
Candidates appearing for the upcoming NEET UG exam can go through the following last minute preparation tips for a stress-free revision.
Focus on high-yield and frequently asked topics
Prioritise subjects like Medicine, Surgery, PSM, Pathology, and Pharmacology.
Use concise revision notes, previous years' question banks, and toppers' capsules.
Allocate more time to topics that are scoring but require memorisation—e.g., Microbiology charts or Biochemistry pathways.
Practice full-length mock tests
Attempt at least 2–3 full mock tests this week in CBT format.
Focus on building stamina and time management for a 3.5-hour session.
Analyse mistakes after each mock to identify weak areas.
Review image-based and clinical questions
NEET PG includes many clinical scenarios and image-based MCQs.
Revisit standard question banks featuring X-rays, histopathology slides, ECGs, and CT scans.
Avoid starting new topics
Do not begin any new subjects now. Focus on revision, not exploration.
Reinforce what you already know well.
Sleep well, eat light, stay calm
Good rest is as important as hard work. Don't compromise on sleep.
Avoid last-minute anxiety by trusting your preparation and staying focused.
