NEET preparation includes a vast number of topics that an aspirant comes looking for. This page aims to answer all the queries that candidates are looking for regarding tips on NEET preparation for 2025. Right from starting the NEET 2025 preparation by making notes to last month's preparation strategy, this page will cover everything.

Along with the question of how to prepare for NEET, another pertinent question that crosses the minds of NEET aspirants is, when to start NEET preparation. Although NTA has not yet announced the NEET 2025 exam date, the exam will likely be conducted in the first week of May 2025. The NEET 2025 exam date is expected to be announced by NTA in December 2024.

In general, students start NEET preparation at least two years in advance, i.e. from Class 11 onwards. Since the NEET syllabus is attuned to the board exam syllabus, students can prepare simultaneously for both these exams. However, a lot of candidates start their full-fledged preparation for NEET in Class 12. The final decision on when to start NEET preparation lies on aspirants, based on factors such as subject-wise conceptual clarity, coverage of syllabus, knowledge of exam pattern and structure, etc. This page brings a detailed account of how to prepare for NEET 2025.

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?

A:
Make a study schedule for NEET giving Biology Physics and Chemistry equal weight. Consistency is key; it is preferable to study for the same number of hours on both days rather than studying all night one day and resting the next. Take into account your optimal study times. Plan your schedule taking into account your strengths and how your energy changes throughout the day. Make a list of the topics you want to cover this week and work towards achieving your daily or weekly goals. If you are unable to stick to your schedule, identify the problem, make a strategy to address it, and try again. If any subject or topic requires more time than provided, or if a test is scheduled for the next day, your schedule should allow for flexibility. Be dependable. The most crucial ability you need to pass NEET is daily study. Get your work done on time. You shouldn't put anything off. Avoid using social media and other distractions as much as possible.

NEET 2025 Preparation: For candidates at various stages

Candidates start their preparation for NEET at different durations before the exam. Some start their preparation early, while others focus on the Class 12 board exam first. The preparation strategy for all these levels is different. Students often ask the question, 'When to start NEET preparation?' As there is no particular answer to this, students should decide this on their own, depending on their calibre and priorities. Know more about the strategy for the respective levels below. 

How to Prepare for NEET During Class 11

A majority of candidates start their NEET preparation in Class 11. At this stage, when students are just starting the preparation, they should try to get an in-depth understanding of the exam by going through the NEET UG syllabus, exam pattern and structure and the past year's question papers. Since they have to attend school also, they should divide their time accordingly to balance both school studies and activities and NEET preparation.

Also, this is the right stage to join a NEET coaching institute or enrol on the NEET test series to get expert guidance and also test their preparation level, which will help them to decide the future course of action. At this stage, it is advised that aspirants refer to their school textbooks or NCERT books. Hoarding a lot of books and study materials will only increase their confusion. After going through the NEET UG 2024 syllabus, students should identify their strengths and weaknesses and work accordingly. Make preparation and revision notes for NEET and go through those regularly to brush up on the chapters or topics completed. 

How to Prepare for NEET During Class 12 

Class 12 is a crucial year for students as they have to appear for the Board exam. Hence, this year is all about balancing between the two. While there are common subjects, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, students have to appear for additional subjects as well, like language, mathematics, etc. Class 12 students are advised to make a routine and stick by it. The timetable should have clear demarcations on the Board exam and NEET preparation hours. 

Also, since the NEET exam will be scheduled a few months after the Board exam, students are advised to primarily focus on their Board exams, while not compromising with the NEET 2025 preparation as well. Assuming that candidates have completed the NEET syllabus and initial revision, it is time to focus on solving the previous years' question papers and taking regular NEET mock tests. For additional revision and clearing concepts, students should also refer to NEET preparation books which are widely referred to by other NEET aspirants. 

NEET Preparation Tips for Droppers

Droppers or repeaters have the advantage of having the experience of appearing for NEET. Since they have already taken the exam once, they have a broad idea of the NEET exam pattern and structure. The most important thing for droppers is to identify areas where they went wrong in the last attempt. Also, it is time to introspect the previous preparation strategy. 

Q:   I am a PCB class 11th and preparing for NEET. Is Maths compulsory to qualify for NEET?

A:

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.

Q:   I'm in class 11th and preparing for the NEET and AIIMS. What should be the basic strategy to crack the exam?

A:
The basic strategy to crack the exam: 1- Research exams, like syllabus, question format, duration, and books. 2- Make a proper strategy as to how much time to give a particular topic or subject. 3- Try to avoid solving any questions without understanding the concept. You can also understand concepts by solving questions but make sure that you understand concepts. 4- Practice as many questions as possible. 5- Each week take the proper exam. Proper exam means making your study room an examination room and sitting for all 3 hours or whatever the duration of your exam and following all exam rules like filling name on the OMR sheet, bubbling answers, etc. 6- If don't get good marks, go to step 1 and follow the same procedure. 7- After some time you will SEE tremendous improvement in your marks and you become habitual to the exam room and you will get good marks. I hope this will help you.

Subject-wise Preparation Strategy for NEET 2025

There are three broad NEET subjects, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The Biology subject is further divided into Botany and Zoology. Every NEET exam subject needs a different approach. Candidates who assume that the same strategy will work for all three subjects often end up in a difficult situation. Experts thus advise formulating a different preparation strategy for every subject, keeping in mind the nature of questions that can be asked from each subject.

Q:   What should I do if I get a low score in NEET mock test or after solving previous years' NEET question papers?

A:

If students are unable to get a good score in NEET mock tests or question papers, the first step is to identify the problem areas and work on those to improve. After identifying the weak areas, they should take help of their teachers to know how to improve the weaknesses and methods of revision and practice. First, they should understand the reason for not scoring well in those areas. It could either be lack of conceptual understanding, or silly mistakes. In case of the former, they should go back to the basics and study each chapter and topics carefully. They must not leave any doubt or query unattended. In case, it is the latter, students should practice more with a better focus and concentration to avoid unnecessary errors. To improve the focus, it is important to have a calm mind, which can be attained through regular meditation. A healthy body and mind is a must for success.

Q:   Should I opt for sectional or full-length mock test for NEET?

A:
During the preparation period of NEET both sectional as well as full length mock tests are useful. The sectional mock tests have to be taken after completing each subject. This would help you to gauge your preparation level and also help in understanding the areas of improvement. Once the entire NEET syllabus is completed, you should take full-length mock tests to assess the entire preparation. Generally students tend to take the NEET mock tests three to four months prior to the exam. Hence, when it comes to the final stage of preparation, ideally students should take full-length mock tests. However, if a student wants to revise a particular section or subject, then it is advisable that they take sectional mock tests or revision or practice purpose.

Q:   What is the ideal time and method to take NEET mock tests?

A:
Candidates must ensure that they take the NEET mock test in a proctored manner within a simulated environment. Hence, ideally students should take mock test in the exam timing, from 2 PM to 5.20 PM, without any break. This would help them get adjusted to the exam taking environment. Moreover, the test should be taken without any break. It must also be ensured that they take the test in a quite environment either alone or with a group of fellow NEET aspirants. Creating a simulated test-taking experience is important. While a number of students take the NEET mock tests at coaching institutes, some prefer to take it at their home. Irrespective of the location, the above factors must be followed to get the best out of the NEET mock test.

Completing the NEET Syllabus on time

Due to the vastness of the syllabus, many students struggle to complete it before the examination. The most important tip for candidates wanting to finish the NEET syllabus is to make a timetable. Only organised and disciplined studies can help complete the syllabus. Since the syllabus of NEET is the same as that of Class 11 and Class 12, students need not make extra effort in terms of syllabus completion. However, it is important to understand the NEET subject-wise weightage to decide which chapters to study wholeheartedly and which ones to leave for later, or completely leave out in case he/she is not well-versed in that particular topic. 

Saurabh Kumar, Chief Academic Officer, Vidyamandir Classes says, "Make sure that the complete syllabus is covered in the first three months, which includes portions from both Class 11 and 12. Since aspirants might be fresh with the Class 12 portion of the NEET syllabus, the initial time should focus on covering the Class 11 portion to rewind things. And most importantly do not opt to study new topics/ concepts at the last moment." He also adds, "Though the Biology portion (Zoology and Botany) may be a bit easier in comparison to Physics, which has a higher number of theoretical and numerical questions. Biology students need to focus and practice more in the Physics section."

Q:   Has there been any change in the syllabus of NEET 2025?

A:

Last year, the NEET syllabus underwent major changes as per the recommendation by the National Medical Commission (NMC).  A number of chapters and topics were removed from Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects. On the other hand, certain topics and chapters were added and some of the topics were modified. Since such major changes were brought in to last year's NEET syllabus, chances are low that the NEET 2025 syllabus will be changed. 

NEET syllabus 2025 will be released officially by NTA along with the information bulletin for the exam, tentatively in the second week of February 2025. Hence, students preparing for NEET 2025 should start preparing, or continue their preparation based on last year's NEET syllabus. Even if some changes are introduced to the NEET 2025 syllabus, those would not be something major.

Getting a good score in NEET 2025

Every candidate who appears for NEET wants to give his/her best shot at the examination. But not all can land amongst the top 100 scorers. The difference might not always be the hard work, but the preparation strategy. One of the key ingredients to achieving good results in NEET is to start early. The best time to start preparing for NEET is after Class 10 or latest before the beginning of Class 12. In the initial stage, students have to master the foundation topics and develop a complete understanding of the concepts. Starting early will also give them ample time for NEET 2025 preparation and they will not have to rush it.

Solving the question papers of previous years and mock tests

Experts advise starting the preparation of NEET by referring to the question papers of previous years. NEET question papers will help them understand what type of questions can be asked in the examination. As one progresses, one must start solving these question papers and NEET mock tests regularly. They must attempt these in an environment similar to that of the examination hall.

Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses

After taking regular mock tests, one should be able to identify the areas of strengths and weaknesses. Based on that, students should decide on the NEET preparation and test-taking strategy. After identifying the weak areas, there are two options. Either one can leave it out completely depending on the weightages assigned to the subject or topic or can endeavour to prepare well and convert the weakness into strength. First and foremost, one must identify the reason behind the weakness, which can either be a lack of conceptual clarity, or silly mistakes due to lack of concentration. If it is the former, one should go back to the basics and go through the NCERT textbooks and understand the concepts to the core, followed by practice. On the other hand, if the reason for weakness is silly mistakes, then one must focus on practice. 

Q:   Which is harder, NEET or JEE?

A:
JEE is related to the engineering field, whereas NEET is related to the medical field. JEE and NEET are both held on an annual basis, and with limited seats, passing these exams becomes more difficult for students. Furthermore, the number of seats in medical colleges is much lower than in engineering colleges. Due to the lesser number of seats available in medical colleges and the high level of competition in NEET getting into a good medical college is challenging. As for difficulty level, National Eligibility cum Entrance Test is slightly tougher than Joint Entrance Examination-Mains but easier than Joint Entrance Examination-Advanced, but that is subjective, as seats are comparatively limited in National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, making it more competitive. Least Difficult: JEE Mains. Difficult: NEET. Most Difficulty: JEE Advanced. I hope this will help you.

Q:   I have prepared for NEET for 2 years but I am not good. What should I do? I am clearly confused about my future.

A:

Physics is considered one of the toughest subject for medical aspirants, but very interesting. Choose any good book of your convenience, there are plenty of good books as many mentioned already. Read the concepts thoroughly, understand them cover to cover, if you have doubts, clear them then and there. Solve atleast 300 to 500 questions per chapter, check, analyse and rectify your mistakes. Solve again. The more you solve the merrier. Initially you won't be getting many correct answers, but as you keep on doing am sure you will see your score rising. Solve previous question papers too. Biology in NEET around 300 marks are from NCERT text book itself, that's how it was when I gave my exam, so you need to thorough NCERT first and then read any good book of your choice and solve as many questions as you can, always stay calm, cool and confident.

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?

A:
Make a study schedule for NEET giving Biology Physics and Chemistry equal weight. Consistency is key; it is preferable to study for the same number of hours on both days rather than studying all night one day and resting the next. Take into account your optimal study times. Plan your schedule taking into account your strengths and how your energy changes throughout the day. Make a list of the topics you want to cover this week and work towards achieving your daily or weekly goals. If you are unable to stick to your schedule, identify the problem, make a strategy to address it, and try again. If any subject or topic requires more time than provided, or if a test is scheduled for the next day, your schedule should allow for flexibility. Be dependable. The most crucial ability you need to pass NEET is daily study. Get your work done on time. You shouldn't put anything off. Avoid using social media and other distractions as much as possible.

Q:   I am doing BSc and I want to crack NEET. How do I prepare for NEET?

A:

How do I prepare for the NEET during a BSc Preparation of NEET UG with your on going BSc Degree. There are two things involved and I'm going to give the answer in two fragments. SEE if you are going to do your BSc From a government college where you have to study and pass your sem/annual exam with practicals then it will be lil tough for you, then remember one thing don't make a mistake of studying in last month to take exam of your college bc it will only waste your time of one month which might be very crucial from perspective of NEET and it will be a hazard if sem/annual exam falls near your NEET exam. So study for college solely by attending lecture of your teachers in college and make their notes and you can bunk your college to prepare for NEET don't waste your time in making frnds in college and make a habit of studying for college BSc In only study hours of your college and rest of the time for NEET and make sure you dedicate your focused I repeat focused 5-6 hour of time for NEET and increase it gradually. And for college exams don't take stress you have your notes just revise them before one week and you are good to go If you are doing your B.Sc. From private college then boom don't take any tension just talk to administration and you won't have to attend the college ( if they ask pay them if it's a small college they will accept the offer for 5-6k ) you don't have to attend the lecture and practicals too just go and take the exam and may be they will arrange something for you in exams too like cheating and all you will pass it without any tension. Although you can buy notes of subjects from market notes are available in market and study them before 2 weeks of your exam and you can study for your NEET exam. It would be tough to manage both of them but over-all it is rewarding so do it and ha! Don't take any pressure everything comes from practice and studying is a practice dude! Make a habit of doing meditation you will SEE the benefits within 30 days start with 5 minutes and gradually increase upto 15 minutes for first 30 days it will surely help in your studies. Don't fall for the trap that I can revise something in that 15 minutes or can chill by listening songs or watching videos nope don't do that mediation can ease your journey of preparation.
