Rajasthan Records Highest NEET Qualification Ratio Among Top States
NEET 2025 will be held on May 4, with nearly 23 lakh students expected to appear. Among the top states—Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan—Rajasthan continues to show remarkable performance, recording the highest qualification ratio despite fewer registrants.
Registrations in Rajasthan rose from 1.48 lakh in 2023 to 1.78 lakh in 2024—a 20% increase—largely due to Kota’s coaching ecosystem led by institutions like Allen, Motion, Aakash, and Resonance. In 2024, 1.21 lakh students from Rajasthan qualified NEET, compared to 1.65 lakh from UP (3.4 lakh applicants) and 1.42 lakh from Maharashtra (2.8 lakh applicants).
As participation swells, the National Testing Agency (NTA) is scaling up measures to ensure fairness.
Nitin Vijay, Founder & CEO, Motion Education says, “The National Testing Agency (NTA) deserves appreciation for its role in conducting standardized, transparent, and fair entrance examinations for higher education, contributing to a more equitable and merit-based selection process. Indeed, it will be a herculean task for NTA to conduct the exam in a fair and transparent manner. While there are a lot of new steps NTA has taken, the huge number still poses a big challenge. Some such appreciable steps include prioritizing candidates’ first-choice preferences for centres and also ensuring that nearly 90% of centres are housed in government institutions such as Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas, and state-run schools; geo-mapping of centres; formed state- and district-level committees; involving local authorities including District Magistrates and police—in the centre selection and monitoring process. Also welcoming step towards addressing misinformation and fraudulent claims where a dedicated online complaint redressal portal has also been launched.”
