New Delhi: 

The syllabus of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) will remain unchanged for the year 2021, however, the examination is expected to have more internal choice like JEE Main 2021.

“The exact pattern for NEET (UG) 2021 is yet to be announced. However, in view of the reduction of the syllabus by some boards across the country, the NEET (UG) 2021 question paper will also have options on the lines of JEE Main,” an official statement from the ministry read.

“The syllabus of JEE and NEET will remain unchanged for the year 2021. However, unlike previous years, this year the candidates will have options to answer the questions in JEE and NEET examinations,” it added.

In December 2020, in another session with students, Mr Pokhriyal said that the suggestion to conduct NEET 2021 in an online mode will be reviewed.
