"The physics section often tends to be the toughest for many, and this year was no exception, featuring calculation based questions. Biology was largely based on the NCERT syllabus, but included a few tricky questions that tested deeper understanding rather than rote memorisation. Chemistry was a mix of conceptual and practical questions that required a clear understanding of the fundamentals. All questions were solely from the reduced syllabus only", Anil Ahlawat, CEO of MTG Learning media.

NEET UG 2024: Section- wise analysis

The Physics section continued to be the toughest part of the NEET exam for many candidates. This year, it consisted mainly of numerical problems that required a strong understanding of concepts and calculation skills. "Questions covered a broad range of topics, with a notable emphasis on Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Optics and Modern Physics. The exam included direct MCQs, match the column, assertion and reasoning, and statement-based questions. Notably, 30% of the questions were numerical based", Ahlawat said.

The Chemistry section was a balanced mix of physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry. "The questions ranged from straightforward factual questions based on direct concepts from the NCERT textbooks to more application-based questions". Ahlawat added. The highest weightage was given to 'Organic Chemistry: Some Basic Principles and Techniques. Out of 50 questions, 9 were numerical-based, 7 involved matching the following, and 5 were statement-based. Some students found the paper a bit lengthy.

Biology had the highest weightage and consisted mostly of questions directly from or based on NCERT textbooks. The questions spanned both Botany and Zoology, with an emphasis on Human Physiology, Genetics, and Plant Physiology. Unlike previous years, this year's question papers featured 6 figure-based and three direction-based questions, along with 30 'match the following' and 17 statement-based questions. As 30% of the questions were of the 'match the following' type.
