NEET 2024 Exam Analysis (Available): Check Subject wise Paper Analysis & Review

According to experts, the overall difficulty level of the NEET 2024 exam was moderate to tough. Compared to last year, the difficulty level was said to be easier. The order to tough to easy sections were Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Biology was largely based on the NCERT syllabus but included a few tricky questions. Chemistry was a mix of conceptual and practical questions that required a clear understanding of the fundamentals. There were no surprise elements or out of the syllabus questions. 

Now let us take a look at the subject-wise NEET 2024 analysis.

 NEET 2024 Analysis for Physics

This year, the Physics questions were mostly numerical-based, which required a strong conceptual understanding. Questions were from 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 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 50 questions, nine were numerical-based, seven involved matching the following, and five were statement-based.

NEET 2024 Analysis for Biology

Biology questions in NEET 2024 were mostly NCERT-based. Questions were mostly from topics such as Human Physiology, Genetics, and Plant Physiology. Unlike previous years, this year's question papers featured six 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. 

According to the students and experts, the overall difficulty level of NEET 2023 has been termed as easy to moderate. Chemistry is considered as the toughest section followed by Biology. Unlike the last two years, Physics was the easiest section. More than 50 per cent of questions were from NCERT. Some were analytical in nature, which made the questions tough to crack. On the other hand, The Chemistry and Physics questions were not much calculation intensive and were formula-driven. According to the expert analysis, the questions were direct and the question types were assertion reason type questions, statement type questions, and matching types questions. As far as the distribution of questions in terms of Class 11 and Class 12 syllabus is concerned, majority of the questions were from Class 12. Only in the Biology section, more weightage was given on the Class 11 questions. Let us now take a look at the subject-wise NEET 2023 analysis.

The Chemistry section was the toughest among the three subjects. Majority of the questions were on Organic Chemistry, followed by Inorganic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. 54 per cent of the questions were from Class 12 whereas 46 per cent were from Class 11. The topic-wise weightage for the Chemistry section is given in the table below.

NEET 2022 was conducted in an offline mode on July 17, from 2 pm to 5.20 pm. Each subject - Physics, Chemistry and Biology was divided into two sections, Section A and Section B carrying 35 and 15 questions respectively. In Section B, candidates had to attempt 10 questions only. Experts from various coaching institutes released their analysis post the conclusion of the exam. Candidates can read the detailed NEET 2022 analysis here.

NEET 2022 Analysis for Physics

The Physics section of NEET 2022 was the most difficult section. It comprised 45 questions and was dominated by questions from Electricity, Modern Physics and Mechanics together comprising 65 per cent of the Physics section. The questions were mostly formula-based. According to the experts, the questions were lengthy in nature and hence time-consuming. The questions were numeric-based and around four to five questions were tricky in nature. The section covered the majority of the topics from the NEET 2022 syllabus and was NCERT-based.
