The city allotment slip will be available to candidates who finish their application within the deadline. The city intimation slip will be released on 21 July 2025. This slip offers information about the exam city, where the candidate’s NEET PG test centre will be mentioned. It is important to note that the city allotment slip is not the same as the admit card.
The NEET PG 2025 admit card will be delivered only to those applicants who have completed the application process. NBE will release the admit card online on web portal. Aspirants will not receive the admit card by email. Thus, candidates have to log in using their request ID and password to download their NEET PG 2025 hall ticket.
The NEET PG admit card includes information such as the candidate’s name, category, date of birth, exam date and time, and address of the exam centre.
After transferring the admit card from the official website, candidates have to review all the details mentioned on it carefully. If there are any errors, candidates should reach out to the National Board of Examinations (NBE) for corrections.
Candidates are advised not to confuse the NEET PG 2025 city allotment slip with the admit card. These two serve different purposes. The city allotment slip is released 10 to 12 days before the exam. It does not mention the exact exam centre address within the city.
On the other hand, the admit card will be released 5 - 7 days prior to the exam. It contains details of the exam venue, including full address, reporting time and important details. Another key difference is that the admit card is a obligatory document that has to be carried to the exam centre, while the city allotment slip is for information purposes only. It does not need to be kept on exam day. Both documents will be available to download online thrift the candidate’s login portal on the web portal.
The National Board of Examinations (NBE) has mentioned the NEET PG 2025 exam pattern in its official information brochure. According to the pattern, the exam will include sectional timing for different parts of the question paper. Understanding the exam pattern helps candidates become familiar with the overall structure of the test. It comprises the number of questions, marking scheme, time duration, and other important details of the exam.
