According to the student's reactions for the NEET 2023 examination, it was observed that the overall difficulty level of NEET 2023 was easy to moderate. Chemistry was the toughest section this year. Physics and Biology were of moderate level of difficulty. Owing to the lower level of the exam, the NEET 2023 cutoff was higher than the last year.
