It is expected that the NEET re-exam 2024 answer key will be released by experts from top coaching institutes soon. There were four sets of the NEET 2024 question paper. This article of Shiksha.com brings a detailed NEET 2024 question paper analysis and answer keys.

Q:   How many Sets are there in the NEET question paper?

A:

There are generally four Sets of NEET question papers, which are further segregated into six parts. The names of the NEET 2024 question paper Sets and codes are Q, R, S and T. For the NEET 2024 re-exam, the question paper sets were A, B, C and D. The multiple Sets and codes in the NEET question papers ensure that there is no malpractice in the conduct of the exam. The names of the Sets and codes of the regional NEET question papers are different from the English ones. While distributing the question papers of NEET invigilators had to ensure that they did not give the same set question paper to two consecutive candidates. Once candidates are given the NEET question paper by invigilators, they need to check whether the question paper and test booklet, or answer sheet is of the same code. In case of a mismatch, they need to bring the matter to the invigilators notice. In case they submit the NEET test booklet with a different code from that of the NEET question paper, their exam will stand cancelled.

Q:   Do all the Sets of NEET question papers carry the same questions?

A:

Although the questions are the same in all Sets of the NEET question paper, the order of the sections and questions vary from set to set. The different order of the sections and questions ensure that there is no malpractice conducted during the exam. Even if some questions are absolutely different in separate Sets or languages, the topics and chapters covered and difficulty level remain similar to ensure normalisation. Hence, it can be said that NTA Sets a common question paper carrying 200 questions, after which the questions are distributed across four Sets and six subsets of the NEET question paper. The subjects, and the questions within the subjects are shuffled for each of the NEET question paper Sets. This allows a parity in terms of topics covered and difficulty level, as well as allows avoidance of malpractice.

Q:   What type of questions are there in the NEET question papers?

A:
The question types in the NEET question paper is objective and multiple-choice type. Each question carries four answer options. The difficulty level of the questions range from moderate to tough. The questions are asked from the prescribed NEET syllabus. Since NEET is a paper-pencil-based test (PBT), test-takers are given OMR sheet wherein they have to mark the correct answer option through blue or black ballpoint pen provided at the exam centre. While leaving the exam centre, candidates will have to submit the test booklet or the OMR sheet and rough sheet booklet to the invigilator. They will be allowed to carry the NEET question paper with them, outside the exam hall.

NEET 2024 Re-exam Analysis for Physics

Physics was the toughest section of the exam. The questions were mostly numerical-based. The topics from which most of the questions came were Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Optics and Modern Physics.

NEET 2024 Re-exam Analysis for Chemistry

The difficulty level of the Chemistry section was moderate. There was a balanced mix of physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry. The highest weightage was given to 'Organic Chemistry: Some Basic Principles and Techniques.

NEET 2024 Re-exam Analysis for Biology

The Biology section was the easiest in the question paper for NEET 2024. 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.

Q:   How many questions are necessary to attempt per section in NEET?

A:

The number of questions you should attempt per section in NEET can vary depending on various factors, such as your level of preparation, speed, accuracy, and the difficulty level of the exam. However, it is generally advisable to attempt a sufficient number of questions to maximize your chances of scoring well.

In NEET, there are typically 180 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) divided equally among three sections: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (Botany and Zoology). Each section consists of 45 questions, with each question carrying four marks, and one mark deducted for every incorrect answer (negative marking).

To determine the number of questions you should attempt per section, consider the following guidelines:

  1. Aim for accuracy: Quality is more important than quantity. It's better to focus on answering questions accurately rather than attempting a large number of questions with a high chance of making mistakes. Accuracy helps you accumulate marks without losing them due to negative marking.
  2. Cover the syllabus comprehensively: Ensure that you have prepared all the topics in the NEET syllabus. This will give you the confidence to attempt questions from various areas and maximize your chances of scoring well. If you are well-prepared, you will be able to attempt a higher number of questions per section. 
  3. Prioritize your strengths: Identify the topics in each section that you are most comfortable with and have a strong grasp of. Start with these questions as they are likely to be answered correctly, boosting your confidence and helping you accumulate marks quickly. 
  4. Time management: NEET has a strict time limit, so it's crucial to manage your time effectively. Allocate a certain amount of time to each section and aim to answer questions within that timeframe. Avoid spending too much time on any single question, as it can eat into the time you have for other questions. 
  5. Leave enough time for revision: It's important to have sufficient time at the end of each section to review your answers and make any necessary corrections. This ensures that you haven't made any silly mistakes or overlooked important details. 

Ultimately, the number of questions you attempt per section will depend on your personal strengths, time management skills, and level of preparation. It's a good idea to practice solving previous years' question papers and mock tests to get an idea of your speed and accuracy. This will help you gauge how many questions you can comfortably attempt within the allotted time and make adjustments accordingly.

Q:   What is the total number of questions in NEET?

A:

The total number of questions in the NEET 2025 question paper will 180, all of which are compulsory. Physics and Chemistry will have 45 questions each, Biology subject will have 90 questions, 45 each from Botany and Zoology. The total number of questions has been reduced from 200 to 180. The optional questions have been removed this year. Moreover, each subject will have single section, with 45 questions. Each question will have four marks and in case of wrong answer, there will be negative marking of one mark for each wrong answer. 

Q:   Will NEET 2025 have descriptive questions?

A:

As per the NEET exam pattern, the examination will only have objective type multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Hence, there is no possibility of having descriptive questions in NEET. Moreover, given the fact that it is an entrance exam, there is not much significance of the descriptive questions or theoritical knowledge. Each question will carry four answer options and test-takers will have to select the correct answer option and mark it on the OMR sheet.

Q:   I marked two answers for a question in NEET. One of the answers is correct. Will I get full marks for this question?

A:

According to the NEET exam pattern, a question for which more than one response is marked on the OMR sheet will be considered incorrect. For such questions, one mark would be deducted. Hence, candidates should be careful while answering on the OMR sheet. They should solve the questions separately on the space provided for rough work, and then shade the answer option on the OMR sheet to avoid such errors. Revision after completing the exam is also important.

Q:   From where can I get the sample papers of NEET? Where I can perform the mock tests?

A:

NEET sample papers or NEET mock tests are available on various platforms. NTA also releases previous years' NEET question papers and mock tests. If you have enrolled in a coaching institute, then you can also avail the NEET sectional and full-length mock tests. While in some platforms, the NEET sample papers or mock tests are paid, there are some platforms, where the NEET mock tests are unpaid. In Shiksha.com, the NEET mock tests are provided for free. Along with the section-wise questions, it also provides the answer keys. Click on the below link to avail the NEET mock tests. 

NEET Prep Questions and Solutions

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.

NEET 2024 Re-exam Answer Key

The NEET 2024 re-exam answer key and solutions will be provided soon here on this page as and when they will be provided by coaching institute experts.
