NEET UG Question Papers
This page links only NEET UG exam question papers that NTA hosts itself. That keeps the list short. The NEET UG site archive holds the 2020 papers in many sets and languages. NTA says it uploaded all four sets of the 2026 re-exam paper on nta.ac.in. NTA hosts no NEET UG exam question paper 2025 or NEET UG question paper 2024 file that we could find. The NEET UG answer key page explains how the key process works.
Many other sites offer NEET UG exam question papers for 2024 and 2025. We do not link them. Those files are not NTA files, however neat a NEET UG question paper 2025 PDF looks. Answer keys are different. NTA hosts answer keys for 2021, 2022, 2025 and 2026, and this page links each one. The NEET UG answer key page explains how the key process works.

Does NTA publish NEET UG previous year question papers?
Only a few. The archive page of the NEET UG site lists NEET UG exam question papers for 2020 only. NTA lists no paper for 2021 to 2025 there. Only files that NTA hosts count as official NEET UG exam question papers. These sit on the NEET UG site, on its file store at cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in, or on nta.ac.in.
Online, NEET UG exam question papers rebuilt from memory are not official, even if they look neat. Copies of NTA papers on other sites may also be changed, so open the NTA file. This page follows that limit. If NTA does not host a paper, this page does not link it.

Where can I download the NEET UG 2026 question paper?
NTA says its NEET UG exam question papers for 21 June 2026, all four sets, are on nta.ac.in. The states this. On 20 October 2026, we found no direct link to the NEET UG question paper 2026 on that site. Look in the notices list on nta.ac.in. Use the notice to confirm the site name.
Is there an official NEET UG question paper PDF in Hindi?
Yes, for 2020. NTA hosts these NEET UG previous year question papers in Hindi. The archive lists "Eng & Hindi" sets, which carry English and Hindi together. It also lists sets in Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Odia, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. Each 2020 file is an NTA-hosted NEET UG question paper PDF.
The 2026 NEET UG exam question papers came as a bilingual booklet. This was for candidates who chose Hindi or a regional language, as per the Information Bulletin.
Are NEET UG question papers for 2024 and 2025 on the NTA site?
No, we found no NEET UG exam question papers for 2024 or 2025 on 20 October 2026. NEET UG 2024 was held on 5 May 2024, with a re-test on 23 June 2024 for affected candidates. NEET UG 2025 was held on 4 May 2025. NTA hosts the 2025 answer keys, but not the NEET UG question paper 2025. The same holds for the NEET UG question paper 2024. Treat any NEET UG question paper 2025 PDF or 2024 file as unofficial unless NTA hosts it.
NEET UG Previous Year Papers with Solutions
NTA does not publish worked solutions for NEET UG exam question papers. The NTA files we found are answer keys. An answer key lists only the correct option for each question number. A NEET UG question paper with solutions PDF found online is the work of whoever shares it. That holds for a NEET UG question paper 2025 with solutions. It also holds for a NEET UG question paper 2024 with solutions.
Can I get the last 5 or 10 years of NEET UG question papers with solutions from NTA?
No. NTA hosts NEET UG exam question papers for 2020, and answer keys for 2021, 2022, 2025 and 2026. None of these is a question paper with solutions. A file titled "last 10 years NEET UG question papers with solutions" is compiled by whoever shares it. It may hold the NEET UG question paper 2024 or an older year. NTA has not checked its solutions.
How do I check a NEET UG question paper with solutions PDF against the official key?
Match each answer in a NEET UG question paper with solutions to the NTA key. Use the same year and the same booklet code. NTA lists a separate key for each booklet code, so read the code on your booklet cover first. The 2026 final key has four codes: 50, 60, 70 and 80. If a solution and the key disagree, the key wins.
Use the final key, not the provisional key. Answers can change after the challenge window. The NEET UG answer key page explains the challenge process.
NEET UG 2026 Question Paper with Answer Key
NEET UG 2026 had two papers. NTA cancelled the exam held on 3 May 2026 and re-conducted it on 21 June 2026. The result and the final answer key follow the 21 June paper. Treat the 21 June paper as the NEET UG question paper 2026. Any NEET UG question paper 2026 PDF you use should match that date.

Why were there two NEET UG 2026 question papers?
NTA cancelled the 3 May 2026 exam and held it again on 21 June 2026. NTA's press release of 10 May 2026 says it received inputs on the late evening of 7 May. The release of 12 May 2026 cancelled the exam and referred the matter to the CBI. NTA has not published a final investigation finding. Registrations were carried forward, so candidates did not apply again or pay a fresh fee.
Of the two NEET UG exam question papers of 2026, practise with the 21 June paper. The final answer key and the result are based on it. The provisional key of 6 May 2026 belongs to the cancelled exam, so do not use it to check answers. This page does not list the 3 May paper. These official files cover the re-exam:
- , also shown on the final answer key page
Check the final key for dropped questions before you score yourself. As per the Information Bulletin, every candidate who appeared gets 4 marks for a dropped question.
Was the NEET UG 2026 question paper tough?
NTA has not published a difficulty rating for the NEET UG question paper 2026. The qualifying marks give a rough idea of how all candidates scored in these NEET UG exam question papers. In the NTA Key Data Points, UR and EWS qualifying marks are 162 in 2024, 144 in 2025 and 213 in 2026. These are marks at the 50th percentile.
| Year | Qualifying marks, UR/EWS | Highest marks |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 162 | 720 |
| 2025 | 144 | 686 |
| 2026 | 213 | 715 |
These marks reflect everyone's scores, not how hard one student found the paper. Use them as a guide only. The NEET UG cutoff page explains what qualifying marks mean.
Is scoring 700 in NEET UG easy?
No. In 2026, 19 candidates scored above 700 out of 19,99,895 who appeared. NTA's press release of 16 July 2026 also lists 138 candidates above 690. It lists 1,492 at 650 and above, and 10,160 at 600 and above. The top score was 715 out of 720.
NEET UG Question Papers: Year-Wise PDFs
NTA hosts NEET UG exam question papers for 2020 only, plus answer keys for 2021, 2022, 2025 and 2026. The year-wise table shows what each year offers. Use the year-wise table to pick your paper. "None found" means we could not find the file on NTA sites on 20 October 2026.

Can a NEET UG 2020 question paper still help in 2027?
Yes. NEET UG previous year question papers from 2020 still help with pattern, timing and negative marking. The 2020 booklet has 180 questions, 720 marks, 3 hours and one mark cut for each wrong answer. The 2025 and 2026 bulletins show the same 180 questions and 720 marks.
Check each question against the latest NEET UG syllabus. NEET UG exam question papers from 2020 may include topics listed differently now. The NTA archive lists no answer key for the 2020 papers. Use them for timing and not for answer checking.
NEET UG Sample Papers with Solutions
NTA's NEET UG site lists no official sample paper or mock test as on 20 October 2026. So NEET UG sample papers with solutions do not come from NTA. Any NEET UG sample papers you find online are unofficial.
What can you use instead of NEET UG sample papers?
Use the NEET UG exam question papers of 2026 and 2020 as full-length mocks. They are real NTA papers, so they match the exam better than any set of NEET UG sample papers. Check the NEET UG site again after NTA releases the 2027 bulletin. Until a NEET UG 2027 question paper exists, the 2026 paper is the latest practice base.
A test-series paper is different from NEET UG exam question papers set by NTA. It is an unofficial practice set. The setter decides its difficulty and writes its solutions, and NTA has not reviewed it. Use such papers for practice, and check every disputed answer against your textbook and the syllabus. Any NEET UG question paper with solutions sold as a sample set is unofficial.
Benefits of Solving NEET UG Previous Year Question Papers
Solving NEET UG previous year question papers shows you the format, time pressure and marking before exam day. The 2026 pattern is 180 questions, 720 marks and 180 minutes. Biology has 90 questions, Physics 45 and Chemistry 45.
- Format. NEET UG exam question papers show all 180 compulsory questions, each with four options and one correct answer.
- Time. 180 minutes for 180 questions is one minute a question on average. A paper shows where you lose that minute.
- Marking. A correct answer gives +4, a wrong answer gives -1 and a blank gives 0. One wrong answer cancels a quarter of a correct one. A paper shows what your guesses cost.
- Subject weight. In these papers, Biology carries 360 of 720 marks. Physics and Chemistry carry 180 each.
- Weak units. The syllabus has 20 Physics units, 20 Chemistry units and 10 Biology units. A marked paper shows which units cost you marks.
- Stamina. NEET UG 2026 was a pen-and-paper exam of three hours. Sitting that long without a break is a skill. NEET UG exam question papers are the only real way to practise it.
NTA has not announced the NEET UG 2027 mode. The 2026 exam was pen and paper. A move to computer-based testing is under consideration, but no decision is notified. Until then, solve NEET UG exam question papers on paper. If NTA changes the mode, add on-screen practice. Watch the NEET UG exam pattern page for updates.
How to Solve NEET UG Previous Year Question Papers Effectively
Solve each of the NEET UG previous year question papers in one sitting of 180 minutes. Then check it against the official answer key. NTA has no NEET UG sample papers, so these real papers are your mocks. Follow these steps for every paper.
- Pick one paper and one set from the year-wise table. Do not mix sets in one sitting.
- Start a 180-minute timer. Sit at a desk with no phone and no break.
- Mark your answers on a separate sheet, as you would on the OMR sheet.
- Check the answers against the NTA key for the same booklet code. Use the final key where one exists.
- Score the paper as +4, -1 and 0. For example, 140 right, 25 wrong and 15 blank gives 560 minus 25, which is 535.
- Log every wrong or guessed question by unit and by cause: concept gap, silly slip, time or guess.
- Fix the weak units from your books, then solve those questions again after a week.
Of all NEET UG exam question papers here, only the 2026 re-exam paper has an NTA key to check against. For a 2020 paper, use the steps for timing and pattern practice. Repeat the steps for the NEET 2027 question paper once NTA releases it. Pick books for the weak units from the NEET UG books page.
How many NEET UG exam question papers should you solve?
NTA sets no number for NEET UG exam question papers. Only two sets of real papers are hosted: 2020 and 2026. Start with the 2026 re-exam paper, because its key is on NTA's site. Then solve one 2020 set under full timing. Keep a second 2020 set for the last month before the exam.
NEET UG Question Papers: Frequently Asked Questions
1. When will the NEET UG 2027 question paper be available?
NTA has announced no NEET UG 2027 exam date, so no NEET UG 2027 question paper exists. A NEET 2027 question paper will appear only after the exam. In 2026, NTA said it uploaded the re-exam papers on 25 June, four days after the exam on 21 June. Check the NEET UG 2027 dates page for the latest position.
2. Is 487 a good score in NEET UG?
In 2026, 90,780 candidates scored 500 or more, so 487 is below that mark. Whether it is good depends on your category, your state and the seat type. A qualifying score is different from a seat-winning score. See the NEET UG cutoff page.
3. Is a memory-based NEET UG question paper with solutions official?
No. Someone rebuilds a memory-based paper from what candidates recall, even for a NEET UG question paper 2024 or 2025. Only NEET UG exam question papers hosted by NTA are official. Use a memory-based paper for practice only, and never to check an answer.

Atul has built a step-by-step content process that uses AI tools with a human in the loop. Every page goes through several stages. It starts with research, where each fact is checked on the official source. A second, independent source is then used to confirm that the fact is correct and the latest. Third-party sites are used only to spot differences and are never treated as a source. Before writing, the team studies what students actually search for and what the top results leave out. This study covers Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, including AI answers and “People also ask” questions. Pages written by Atul are in plain English that can be understood in one read, and they open with the question the reader is most likely to have. Before a page goes live, every number, name, date, and fact is checked again against its official source. Finally, an editor reads and humanises every page, however good the draft is. Atul believes that advice on education should be simple, honest, and based on official facts. Fees and figures should come with their source. A student should be told clearly when a college is not the right fit.
