NEET Analysis- Paper pattern, Difficulty level, Chapterwise weightage and repeated questions

NEET 2019 will be conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA) on 5th May 2019.
Examination will be offline pen and paper test. It will be of three hours duration, starting from 2.00 pm and ending on 5.00 pm.

Paper pattern

Paper will contain 180 questions from Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Biology will contain 90 questions (45 Zoology and 45 Botany) and Physics and Chemistry will contain 45 questions each.
Questions will be MCQ type with single correct answer. Right answer will reward you with +4 marks and wrong answer will cause a negative marking of -1 marks (25% penalty).
80% questions will come from syllabus of NCERT Books of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, taught in 11th and 12th class. So commanding NCERT is a must and you will have to read it as a holy book for sure success in NEET.

An analysis of difficulty level and Chapterwise weightage is given below:
(Note: The following analysis is done by looking at all the papers from 2008 to 2018. Please do not relate it with a particular year paper.)

Difficulty level

Difficulty level of NEET paper is overall moderate. Difficulty wise distribution of questions:
● 10% questions (about 18 out of 180) are difficult.
● 35% questions (about 63 out of 180) are moderate.
● 55% questions (about 99 out of 180) are easy.
About 70 questions in Biology are of easy level.

So you can see, in Physics, 22 questions come from 11th syllabus and 23 questions come from 12th syllabus.
In Chemistry, 23 questions come from 11th syllabus and 22 questions come from 12th syllabus.
In Biology, 46 questions comes from 11th syllabus and 44 questions comes from 12th syllabus.
So overall, 91 questions (50.5% part) come from 11th syllabus and 89 questions (49.5% part) come from 12th syllabus.
So 11th is very important for NEET and you will have to revise it regularly along with your 12th syllabus.

Repeated questions

● In Biology, about 40% questions are repeated (not exactly, but in some modified form) questions of past year NEET/AIIMS/State-PMTs papers.
● In Physics, about 30% questions are repeated (not exactly, but in some modified form) questions of past year NEET/AIIMS/JEE-Main/State-PMTs papers.
● In Chemistry, about 35% questions are repeated (not exactly, but in some modified form) questions of past year NEET/AIIMS/JEE-Main/State-PMTs papers.

So solving past 10 years questions of NEET/AIIMS/JEE-Main/State-PMTs papers is very important.

Important chapters in Physics for scoring higher in NEET, AIIMS and JIPMER.

NEET, AIIMS-UG and JIPMER- UG are the medical entrance examinations for admission to MBBS course in medical colleges of India.
All these exams have three subjects in common- Physics, chemistry and biology.

Many students find Physics difficult and are unable to score well in it.
But if you study with a plan then you can score well in NEET, AIIMS and JIPMER.
Here are some chapters on which you should focus to score well in Physics:
NEET:
1. U&D: 1 question
2. Kinematics (Motion and Vectors): 3 questions
3. Work, power and energy: 3 to 4 questions
4. Rotational motion: 3 to 4 questions
5. Gravitation: 2 questions
6. Thermodynamics and KTG: 3 questions
7. Electrostatics and Electricity: 4 questions
8. Modern Physics: 4 questions
9. Semiconductor electronics: 2 questions
So total 25 to 27 questions.
AIIMS-UG:
Same as above stated in NEET but different weightage:
1. U&D: 2 questions
2. Kinematics: 5 questions
3. Work power and energy: 4 questions
4. Rotaional Motion: 4 questions
5. Gravitation: 2 questions
6. Electrostatics & Electricity: 5 questions
7. Modern Physics: 8 questions
8. Semiconductor Electronics: 3 to 5 questions
So total 33 to 35 questions
JIPMER-MBBS:
Same weightage as stated above in AIIMS.
1. U&D: 2 questions
2. Kinematics: 5 questions
3. Work power and energy: 4 questions
4. Rotaional Motion: 4 questions
5. Gravitation: 2 questions
6. Electrostatics & Electricity: 5 questions
7. Modern Physics: 8 questions
8. Semiconductor Electronics: 3 to 5 questions
So total 33 to 35 questions

So if you study these Chapters, you will definitely score very good in Physics in all three examination- NEET, AIIMS and JIPMER.
All the best!! Do your best and get selected in a good medical college.
Hope this article helps!!
