Exam pattern

NEET MDS 2026 will be held in computer‑based mode, featuring 240 multiple‑choice questions drawn from the BDS curriculum.

The MDS question paper will comprise 240 multiple-choice questions and will have two parts — parts A and B with 100 and 140 questions, respectively.

Candidates will have three hours to complete the test. Each correct answer carries four marks, while one mark will be deducted for every incorrect response. No marks will be awarded for unanswered questions. Detailed guidelines on the exam structure will be published in the official information bulletin.

Additionally, in last year’s MDS exam, the Board introduced mandatory time-bound sections. “This measure has been implemented to enhance the security and sanctity of the exams in light of emerging threats during the examination process,” read the NBEMS notification.

Candidates would be restricted from proceeding to the next part until completion of the allotted time of the previous part of the NEET MDS. Aspirants would not be allowed to review the questions/ modify the responses of a part after the completion of the allotted time for that part.

Questions of the next part will start automatically after the completion of the allotted time of the previous part, as mentioned in the notification of the NBEMS.

In case of any difficulty, applicants can contact candidate care support at +91-7996165333 or write to NBEMS at its helpline portal accessible through the applicant login or its communication web portal.
