National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) — 180 MCQ questions covering Physics, Chemistry and Biology from NCERT Class 11 & 12.

About this exam

NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is the single national-level entrance examination for admission to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, veterinary and other undergraduate medical courses across India. It is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in pen-and-paper (OMR) mode.

The paper carries 180 multiple-choice questions for a total of 720 marks, drawn entirely from the NCERT Class 11 and Class 12 syllabus in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Practising topic-wise with worked explanations is the most reliable way to build the speed and accuracy NEET rewards.

How to Prepare
  • Treat NCERT as the primary source — especially for Biology, where most questions are directly NCERT-based.
  • Practise topic by topic first, then attempt full-length timed mock tests to build exam stamina.
  • Review every wrong answer; maintaining an error log is more useful than solving new questions blindly.
  • Biology carries half the marks (360) — prioritise it for the highest return on effort.
