NEET Chapter Wise Weightage 2024: FAQs
Ques. Where can I download NEET chapter-wise weightage PDF 2024?
Ans. You can download NEET chapter-wise weightage PDF 2024 using the link provided here. NEET weightage pdf comprises the chapter-wise number of questions asked in the last 3 years by NTA. Download NEET 2024 Chapter wise Weightage PDF
Ques. Has NEET syllabus reduced for 2024?
Ans. Yes, NEET Syllabus is reduced for 2024. NEET chemistry now comprises only 20 units compared to 30 last year. Physics has a new unit added on Experimental skills. Biology has 10 units with some topics deleted from the previous syllabus like transport in plants, seed dormancy, improvement in food production, etc.
Ques. Is NEET 2024 going to be tough?
Ans. NEET 2024 is going to be of moderate level difficulty:
- Chemistry is expected to be moderate to difficult
- Biology will likely be easy with an exception of 5-10 questions
- Physics has always received mixed reactions year after year- while some find it moderately challenging, others find it easy.
Ques. How to score 180 in NEET Physics?
Ans. To score 180 in NEET physics requires a lot of practice and an intelligent study plan. Scoring full marks in a subject requires you to complete the entire syllabus from NCERTs and revise it at least once before the exam day. The chapters you should not miss out on revising by any chance include:
- Current Electricity
- Alternating Current
- Ray Optics and Optical Instruments
- Semiconductor Devices
- Moving Charges and Magnetism
- Atoms (X-rays, Bohr’s Model, Hydrogen Spectrum, etc.)
Attempting mock tests, sample papers, and previous year question papers is a must in the last month before the exam. For Physics, you must practice more numericals from reference books by MTG, D.C Pandey, C.P Singh.
Ques. Can I crack NEET in 3 months?
Ans. It is not easy to crack NEET in 3 months given the vast syllabus, the high level of competition from 20 lakh applicants on average, and the moderate difficulty level of the exam. If you have previously prepared for the exam, then you might crack the exam in 3 months with 6-7 hours of time allocation per day. For a first-time applicant, 3 months is less time to prepare well. However, nothing is impossible, you might crack the exam with 8-9 hours of study every day if your basics are clear.
Although your chances of getting a high score will be less, you might still be able to clear the cut offs with regular preparation. As there is no maximum attempt limit, you should definitely give it a shot with all that you can cover in the 3 months of time you have. Also Check: Best Apps for NEET preparation
