Commonly asked questions
Q:   I am doing BSc and I want to crack NEET. How do I prepare for NEET?
A: 

How do I prepare for the NEET during a BSc Preparation of NEET UG with your on going BSc Degree. There are two things involved and I'm going to give the answer in two fragments. SEE if you are going to do your BSc From a government college where you have to study and pass your sem/annual exam with practicals then it will be lil tough for you, then remember one thing don't make a mistake of studying in last month to take exam of your college bc it will only waste your time of one month which might be very crucial from perspective of NEET and it will be a hazard if sem/annual exam falls near your NEET exam. So study for college solely by attending lecture of your teachers in college and make their notes and you can bunk your college to prepare for NEET don't waste your time in making frnds in college and make a habit of studying for college BSc In only study hours of your college and rest of the time for NEET and make sure you dedicate your focused I repeat focused 5-6 hour of time for NEET and increase it gradually. And for college exams don't take stress you have your notes just revise them before one week and you are good to go If you are doing your B.Sc. From private college then boom don't take any tension just talk to administration and you won't have to attend the college ( if they ask pay them if it's a small college they will accept the offer for 5-6k ) you don't have to attend the lecture and practicals too just go and take the exam and may be they will arrange something for you in exams too like cheating and all you will pass it without any tension. Although you can buy notes of subjects from market notes are available in market and study them before 2 weeks of your exam and you can study for your NEET exam. It would be tough to manage both of them but over-all it is rewarding so do it and ha! Don't take any pressure everything comes from practice and studying is a practice dude! Make a habit of doing meditation you will SEE the benefits within 30 days start with 5 minutes and gradually increase upto 15 minutes for first 30 days it will surely help in your studies. Don't fall for the trap that I can revise something in that 15 minutes or can chill by listening songs or watching videos nope don't do that mediation can ease your journey of preparation.

Q:   How important is taking mock test to prepare for NEET?
A: 

Mock tests are an important aspect of NEET preparation. Preparation will be incomplete without taking NEET mock tests. NEET 2026 mock test will give students exposure towards the exam structure. It will also help them understand their preparation level and mistakes to avoid. Students must get the performance analysed thoroughly by an expert or mentor. The analysis will provide insights about the areas of improvement, causes of mistakes, correct approach to attempt questions, time management, etc. The objective of the analysis is to provide an in-depth viewpoint on their performance.

Q:   How should I prepare for inorganic chemistry for the NEET?
A: 
There are some tricks to preparing for Chemistry. It is a scoring subject and Inorganic is the easiest of all among IOC, OC and physical. Talking about the upcoming NEET you have to face approximately 15 to 18 questions there. Having prepared from NCERT is sufficient. Go thoroughly by judging the whole concept and line. For Inorganic Chemistry, NCERT is sufficient or frankly to say more than enough. For revision try to solve NEET previous years' question papers, especially the last 10 years. Highlighting the words I have to state that especially focus on box or tabulated data of NCERT which will be asked fully as it is. Especially for Hydrogen.
Q:   Which is the best reference book for biology for preparing NEET ?
A: 
To prepare for the Biology section of NEET the best books or study materials are NCERT textbooks. According to experts and toppers, NCERT is the best source of preparation. Based on the contents of the book, NCERT would be sufficient for NEET Biology preparation. However, students may refer to additional books and study materials. Some of the books are as follows: 1. Trueman's Biology Vol 1 and 2. Objective Biology by Dinesh 3. Objective Biology by Ansari 4. Pradeep Publication's Biology 5. Biology by GR Bathla Publications 6. SC Verma Biology.

Commonly asked questions
Q:   Which was the easiest section of the NEET 2023?
A: 
As per the NEET 2023 analysis, Physics and Biology were the easiest sections. Physics which is generally rendered as a tough subject, appeared as a surprise with easier questions. Biology on the other hand, is generally easy in nature, despite having the highest weightage in the NEET question paper. The topics of high weightage in the Physics section were Current Electricity Electro Magnetic Field, Modern Physics Rigid Body Dynamics, Modern Physics etc. In Biology the top chapters or units were Genetics, Human and Plant Reproduction, Cell Biology Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants, Application Biology and Human Physiology among others.
Q:   I am a PCB class 11th and preparing for NEET. Is Maths compulsory to qualify for NEET?
A: 

Maths is not compulsory for NEET. You have numerical in Physics but you do not required Maths in Class 11 and Class 12 to solve those. If you studied Maths in class 10, then you can solve the numericals in Physics. Since NEET has Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects, it would be advantageous for you if you are a PCB student. Moreover, in case a candidate has studied PCM and not Biology, even as an additional subject, then he/she will not be eligible to appear for NEET exam. Hence, Maths is not compulsory, rather not required for NEET. But having basic mathematical knowledge and skills would be an added advantage. 

Q:   How to score 170+ in Physics NEET?

NEET exam can be a little tough for average students, given the competition and difficulty level. However, average students can crack the NEET UG exam with disciplined and consistent efforts. Such students should cover the syllabus and practice more and more question papers and NEET mock tests. Check here the NEET Preparation Plan for Average Students.

Will the difficulty level change of Re-NEET?

This is an interesting question. In 2015, a similar incident took place where the AIMPT (ALL India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Test) was cancelled by the Supreme Court of India. When the re-exam was conducted, the paper's difficulty level was tough.

We can expect that the difficulty level of Re-NEET 2026 will be tougher compared to NEET UG 2026. The exact difficulty level will depend on students' reactions after appearing for the Re-NEET exam 2026. Students will have to change their strategy to prepare for the test.

  • Avoid social media rumours to stay mentally calm.
  • Check NTA official notification for any updates.
  • Plan 45 days preparation strategy. NTA might give a 45-day window for preparation.

It depends on the college, and sources do not agree. One college lists JENPAS, the West Bengal joint entrance exam, while another lists NEET. A third says both JENPAS and NEET are accepted.

In many cases, yes. Some sources say NEET is not compulsory for BPT in Karnataka. Many private colleges admit students on 12th marks. Government and counselling seats may follow a different process. Rules change every year, so read the latest notice before you apply.

Not always. While NEET is common, several Karnataka colleges also accept KCET scores, and some even offer direct admission based on 12th marks. This is different from MBBS, where NEET is compulsory everywhere. So if you missed NEET or didn't score well, you still have other routes into a good nursin
