More than 16 lakh candidates apply for NEET each year for admission to around 1.5 lakh seats at various medical and dental colleges across the country. Though the exam date has not been decided yet, but the exams are scheduled to take place in May this year. With only a few months left to prepare, medical aspirants should work on their preparation strategies for this year’s competition.
The most important thing to succeed at NEET is a smart work plan that covers the entire curriculum in a timely manner.
The NEET UG Exam focuses on three subjects: physics, chemistry, and biology (Botany & Zoology). In three hours, 180 questions has to be answered while total marks remain unchanged (720). The syllabus covers the entire NCERT curriculum for Classes 11 and 12, including Physics, Chemistry, Zoology, and Biology.
Candidates receive four marks for each correct response and lose one mark for each incorrect response.
For effective NEET preparation, candidates should emphasise on overcoming stress and focusing on revision rather than starting from scratch. Due to the wide range of theoretical and mathematical numerical problems involved, doing well in Physics in NEET, may be a difficult challenge for many aspirants. So prepare well for physics and try to cover all the topics.
A work plan that covers full curriculum well in time is very important for excelling in NEET. To get into the college of your choice, you must qualify and score well.
