What is NEET ?
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is a single-level national exam for medical aspirants seeking admission to medical courses across various institutes in the country. Qualifying the NEET exam opens up opportunities to pursue MBBS, BDS, AYUSH courses, and other related medical programs. Moreover, NEET scores are accepted by most private colleges for admissions, making it a fair and transparent examination that also offers opportunities in related fields.
The exam has 200 questions of which 180 questions must be attempted, 45 of which are from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology each. Each correct answer earns 4 marks, and each incorrect answer results in -1 mark due to negative marking. The NEET syllabus covers the fundamental concepts of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology taught in classes 11 and 12 as recommended by the NCERT(National Council of Educational Research and Training).
How does NEET work ?
- NEET or National Eligibility cum Entrance Test is a paper-pencil based test (PBT) of 3 hours and 20 minutes duration.
- There are a total of 200 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), out of which 180 questions have to be attempted.
The syllabus of the exam consists of Physics Chemistry and Biology subjects.
- The Biology subject is segregated between Zoology and Botany.
- Each subject will be divided into two sections, Section A and Section B. Section A carries 35 questions and Section B carries 15 questions.
- While all 35 questions can be attempted in Section A, in Section B, 10 questions out of 15 have to be attempted.
- Each question carries four answer options and the correct option has to be marked on the OMR sheet.
- According to the marking scheme, each correct question carries 4 marks and there is a negative marking of 1 mark for each wrong answer.
