Medicine Entrance Exam

Yes, in fact solving the question papers of previous years is an integral part of the preparation phase. They help the candidate familiarise themselves with the paper pattern and help them prepare an exam day strategy. Students must ensure that they solve the NEET question papers in a proctored manner, I. e. within the stipulated timing and duration and in one go, without any breaks. Students should ideally start solving the previous years' NEET question papers once they complete the syllabus. Another way to utilise previous years' NEET question papers is to solve the subject-wise questions separately, after completing the syllabus of each subject, students should solve the subject-wise questions from NEET question papers followed by the full-length question paper.

Aspirants can download the previous years' NEET question papers from Shiksha. Com for free. They may also visit the official website of NTA and visit the Downloads section for previous years' NEET question papers. They have to select the year, exam and Sets to check and download the question papers for NEET and other entrance exams conducted by NTA. Moreover, top coaching institutes offering NEET coaching also provide previous years' NEET question papers for the students who enrol to their institute or opt for the mock tests. There are various other social media platforms which circulate NEET question papers of previous years for practice purpose. Students preparing for next year's NEET must ensure that they collect the previous years' question papers and solve those.

Yes, candidates are allowed to carry the NEET question papers outside the exam hall after completing the exam and submitting the OMR sheets. Since NEET is conducted in a single day and single slot window, there is no restriction on taking the NEET question paper outside the exam hall. NTA also uploads question papers of NEET for each year and sets/codes on the official website. Moreover, experts from top NEET coaching institutes also release the question papers of NEET for one or multiple Sets along with solutions and answer keys. Candidates can refer to the solutions and NEET answer keys to calculate the estimated score in the exam. Based on this, they can also decide which questions to file objections against, once NTA would release the provisional NEET answer keys and open the challenge submission process.

In such a scenario, test-takers should report the question or questions to the invigilator or exam authorities and not attempt the question. The exam authorities will review the questions and in case the doubt is confirmed, marks will be rewarded to all candidates. It is advised to candidates that in case candidates come across such a question, they should move ahead and attempt other questions in accordance with the number of questions to be attempted. Attempting extra questions will not fetch any extra marks. Hence, test-takers must select the questions carefully. In case after raising objections it is found out that the question or the answer option is wrong, then NTA will award marks to all candidates. NTA has identified and shared the marking scheme for such situations:
a. If more than one option is found to be correct then Four marks (+4) will be awarded to only those who have marked any of the correct options. B. If all options are found to be correct then Four marks (+4) will be awarded to all those who have attempted the question. C. If a question is found to be incorrect or the Question is dropped then Four marks (+4) will be awarded to all those who have attempted the question. The reason could be due to human error or technical error.

Candidates will be provided with OMR sheets. They will have to shade the correct answer option corresponding to each question uniformly with a ballpoint pen which would be provided to them inside the exam hall. They should fill only one answer option circle, otherwise, the response will be considered as wrong and would result in negative marking. They will have to do the rough work on the NEET question paper, in the space provided. While answering the NEET question paper on the OMR sheet, candidates must be careful that they select the correct question number and fill up the correct answer option. There are cases where candidates solve the question and deduce the correct option, but make a mistake while filling the OMR sheet by not checking the question number or the answer option carefully. Such mistakes can cause a negative marking of one mark.

Yes, I can assist you in predicting which medical colleges you might have a chance of getting into based on your NEET 2023 score. However, please keep in mind that these predictions are based on previous year's cut-off trends and are subject to change. To predict which medical colleges you might be eligible for, you can use the NEET College Predictor tool available on various educational websites and online platforms. You need to enter your NEET score, category, preferred location, and other relevant details to get a list of colleges that you may have a chance of getting into. You can also check the official website of the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and the respective state counseling authorities for the latest information on cut-offs and counseling procedures. It is essential to keep an eye on these websites regularly to stay updated with the latest information. Additionally, it is advisable to prepare a list of colleges that you are interested in and check their previous year's cut-off scores to get an idea of the scores required for admission. This will help you to choose the colleges that are within your reach and increase your chances of securing a seat in a good medical college.

It is difficult to predict with certainty where you can get a seat for MBBS with a score of 492 marks in NEET 2023, as the availability of seats and the cut-off scores for different colleges vary each year depending on various factors such as the number of candidates appearing for the exam and the level of difficulty of the exam. However, based on previous year's cut-off trends, it may be challenging to secure a seat in a government medical college with this score. But, you may have the possibility of getting admission to private medical colleges or deemed universities. You may also consider applying for state government medical colleges, as some states may have lower cut-off scores than others. It is important to keep in mind that admission to medical colleges in India is done through a centralized counseling process conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for 15% All India Quota seats, while the remaining 85% seats are filled by the respective state counseling authorities. I would recommend keeping an eye on the official website of the MCC and the state counseling authorities for the latest information on cut-offs and counseling procedures. Additionally, it would be beneficial to prepare a list of colleges that you are interested in and check their previous year's cut-off scores to get an idea of the scores required for admission.
