NEET UG 2025 Answer Key: PDF for Codes 45, 46, 47, 48 – Download Now & Cross-Check Your Answers

The NEET UG 2025 examination was successfully conducted on May 4, 2025, from 2 PM to 5 PM in a single shift across the country in offline (pen-and-paper) mode. Shortly after the exam concluded, thousands of medical aspirants stepped out of the exam halls with their respective question paper sets—numbered uniquely this year as 45, 46, 47, and 48—marking a departure from the traditional alpha-numeric coding system used in previous years.

As expected, top NEET coaching institutes have stepped in to ease candidate anxiety by releasing unofficial NEET UG 2025 answer keys and solutions. These early keys are based on expert analysis and are now available online for students to assess their performance. While some coaching centres have released answer keys for all four paper codes, others have focused only on select sets.

Unique Paper Set Format in NEET 2025

In a first-of-its-kind change, NEET UG 2025 introduced a numerical-only coding system for its question papers. This year’s question papers were categorised under Set 45, 46, 47, and 48, without the usual alphabetical prefix. This has streamlined the post-exam discussion and simplified answer key identification for candidates.

How to Use the NEET 2025 Answer Key?

Candidates can download the unofficial answer keys and compare their responses to estimate their probable NEET UG scores. To calculate the estimated score:

• Correct Answer: Earn +4 marks for every right option you select.
• Wrong Answer: -1 mark will be deducted for each incorrect response.
• Unanswered Question: No marks will be added or subtracted — it remains neutral.

Example Calculation:

• Correct answers: 155 → 155 × 4 = 620
• Incorrect answers: 15 → 15 × (-1) = -15
• Unanswered: 30 → 0 marks
• Estimated NEET 2025 score = 620 - 15 = 605 marks

This estimated score can help students predict their All-India Rank (AIR) and evaluate their chances of admission into MBBS, BDS, and other medical programs through the NEET UG counselling process.
