The physics section was easy compared to articles from previous years. Approximately 30-40% of the questions were directly based on the NCERT textbook. The graphs, data and some statements were taken directly from the NCERT textbook. The calculations were comparatively easy. All questions were from NEET’s prescribed curriculum with absolutely no controversial questions. He mastered mechanics with 12 questions, followed by electricity with 9 questions and modern physics with 8 questions. In general, we can say that the physics was easy.

The Chemistry section had an easy to moderate difficulty level. Organic Chemistry slightly dominated the subject with 18 questions. 15 questions of Physical Chemistry and 12 questions of Inorganic Chemistry were asked. All questions were from the prescribed NEET syllabus and entirely based on NCERT textbooks. In fact, the statements were taken directly from the NCERT textbook. The questions were simple and easy to understand. There was a controversial question with more than one correct answer. In general, the Chemistry section was not long and students should have completed this part in 40-45 minutes. With minimal calculations, an average student should have been able to attempt approximately 40 questions with ease, while others could have attempted a minimum of 44 questions.
Botany
