For example, in NEET-PG 2024, if there are five time-bound sections (A, B, C, D & E) in the question paper, each section will have 40 questions and 42 minutes of time allotted

Candidates will be restricted from proceeding to the next section until they complete the allotted time for the previous section

Additionally, candidates will not be allowed to review the questions or modify their responses for a section after the completion of its allotted time

The questions for the next section will start automatically after the completion of the allotted time for the previous section

NBEMS specified that candidates will have the choice to mark any question, regardless of whether they have answered it or not, for later review

This permits candidates to revisit these marked questions within a section before the conclusion of the allotted time

The questions marked for review will be evaluated according to the marking scheme
