According to media reports, the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) for admission to government medical colleges for the session 2024-25 has broken its registration record for the ninth consecutive year. 24 lakh candidates have applied for NEET-UG which is 3 lakh more than in 2023-24. NEET-UG remains India's biggest entrance exam, surpassing CUET-UG 2023 by more than five lakh registrations.

 

The number of registrations for the NEET-UG entrance exam has seen a significant increase of 3 lakh compared to last year, the highest jump in seven years.

 

However, the addition of over 6,000 seats in government colleges for the upcoming academic year has reduced competition slightly, resulting in a ratio of 42.2 candidates per seat, the lowest in eight years.

 

The first big jump in NEET-UG registrations was 11.3 lakh in 2017 when it crossed the 10 lakh mark, from eight lakh in 2016. Subsequently, except in the two Covid years (2020 and 2021), the growth in applications has been consistently high.

 

 

The number of seats in government colleges for 2024 is 56,385 in 706 colleges, 48,212 in 2023 and 43,435 in 2022. The most significant increase occurred in 2021, increasing by 8,329 seats compared to 2020, to 33,893.

 

 

For over a decade, women have outnumbered men in NEET-UG, with the participation rate reaching a record high of 57.2% this year. In 2023 it was 56.7%, while in 2022 it was 53.5% and in 2019 it was 51%.

 

If we talk about state-wise registration in 2024-25, Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of registrations at 3,39,125, Maharashtra at second place with 2,79,904, and Rajasthan at third place with 1,96,139 registrations.
