Q: I take too much time in covering topics and it takes my whole day to complete revision. How do I proceed to prepare for NEET?
Q: I am a PCB class 11th and preparing for NEET. Is Maths compulsory to qualify for NEET?
Maths is not compulsory for NEET you have numerical in Physics but you do not required Maths to solve them. If you had the background of Maths in class 10 then you can solve the numericals in Physics. Infact you are being a PCB I highly recommend you to don't choose Maths because it is very tough and involve a lot of Maths. So then why you need again in NEET. So you can. Choose Maths as a optional subject why because you are already having PCB in your 11 class. So I think Maths is not compulsory subject for NEET. As you are PCB you can solve those basic mathematics questions with you knowledge. Hope this information helps you.

Now let us take a look at the detailed section-wise NEET 2024 paper review.
NEET 2024 Paper Analysis
According to experts and candidates, the NEET 2024 paper level was moderate to tough. The NEET 2024 question paper analysis stated that there were no surprise elements and the question types were on the expected lines, similar to last year. The NEET 2024 question paper was based on the new or revised NEET 2024 syllabus. The weightage of Class 11 and 12 NEET syllabus was approximately 45:55.
Now let us take a look at the subject-wise NEET 2024 paper review.
NEET 2024 Analysis for Physics
The Physics section of NEET 2024 was the most difficult section. It comprised 45 questions and was dominated by questions from Electricity, Modern Physics and Mechanics together comprised 65 per cent of the Physics section. The questions were mostly formula-based. According to Anil Ahlawat, CEO, MTG Learning, this year, the Physics section consisted mainly of numerical problems that required a strong understanding of concepts and calculation skills. Questions covered a broad range of topics, with a notable emphasis on Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Optics and Modern Physics. The exam included direct MCQs, match the column, assertion and reasoning, and statement-based questions. Notably, 30 per cent of the questions were numerical based. The section covered the majority of the topics from the NEET syllabus and was NCERT-based.
Q: Which is the best reference book for biology for preparing NEET ?
Q: Which is the best objective book for the preparation of NEET?
Q: It is possible to crack NEET exam without coaching?
I will not say, it is impossible. It is possible, but you have work very hard and must give your 200% effort to crack these competitive exams. In my opinion, it is better to take coaching for NEET exam. Coaching makes your exam preparation easier. Sometimes, if you get lots of doubt then you can get it cleared by your tutor who has got the subject knowledge.
Students get individual attention at coaching institutes and they focus on learning and development of students as per their requirement. Coaching centers also teach you a lot of tips, tricks and time management that help you to crack NEET exam. But, you have to be careful in choosing a right and resourceful coaching center, as there are many fraud coaching centers that works for money and not for delivering knowledge to the students.
Q: Is NEET preparation enough for JEE Exam?
Q: Which was the easiest section of the NEET 2023?
NEET 2024 Analysis for Chemistry
The difficulty level of this section was easy to moderate. "The Chemistry section was a balanced mix of physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry. The questions ranged from straightforward factual questions based on direct concepts from the NCERT textbooks to more application-based questions. The highest weightage was given to 'Organic Chemistry: Some Basic Principles and Techniques. Out of 45 questions, nine were numerical-based, seven involved matching the following, and five were statement-based," said Ahlawat.
NEET 2024 Analysis for Biology
The Biology section was the easiest section in the question paper for NEET 2024. This section comprised 90 questions, which was segregated into questions from Botany and Zoology. The experts stated that the Botany section was tougher than that of the Zoology section. On the other hand, the Zoology section was mostly asked from the Class 12 syllabus. Maximum questions were asked from the Human Physiology topic and the Ecology section had the lowest weightage.
The Zoology section of NEET 2024 was easy to moderate. Nearly 30 per cent of the questions can be considered difficult. This section was mainly dominated by questions from Animal Husbandry, Biotechnology, Human Reproduction and Biomolecules. The Botany section of NEET 2024 was comparatively tougher than the Zoology section. Nearly 30 per cent of the questions can be considered easy. This section was mainly dominated by questions from Genetics, cell and cell cycle, diversity of life and structural organisation of plants.
Ahlawat said, "The questions spanned both Botany and Zoology, with an emphasis on Human Physiology, Genetics, and Plant Physiology. Unlike previous years, this year's question papers featured 6 figure-based and three direction-based questions, along with 30 'match the following' and 17 statement-based questions. As 30 per cent of the questions were of the 'match the following' type, some students found the paper a bit lengthy."
NEET 2024 Exam Review and Student Reactions
According to the NEET 2024 exam review by students, the exam was termed as easy to moderate. The majority of the students found Botany and Chemistry to be the toughest with Physics to be the easy section followed by Chemistry.
