Time-Bound Sections
One of the important features of the current NEET SS pattern is sectional timing.
Candidates are restricted from proceeding to the next section until the allotted time for the current section is completed. After a section ends, candidates cannot go back to review or modify responses in that completed section.
Therefore, time management is important even when a candidate has completed questions before the end of a particular section.
