National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (UG) — MBBS/BDS & allied medical admission. Conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA). Kavya knows this paper from the site's own pattern pages — and reads your scores, your mocks and what you haven't touched before saying a word.
Once a year (application ~Feb–Mar; exam on the first Sunday of May). Offline, pen-and-paper (OMR) — 180 single-correct MCQs in one 3-hour shift.
One 3-hour paper: 180 single-correct MCQs · 720 marks · +4 correct, −1 wrong. There is no separate qualifying stage — this single score is your rank, so no subject is 'just a gate'.
Your raw score becomes an All-India Rank and a category rank. You must also clear the category qualifying percentile (50th for General, 40th for reserved categories) to be eligible for counselling.
MCC conducts counselling for the 15% All-India Quota, deemed/central universities and AIIMS/JIPMER; states run counselling for the 85% state quota. Seats are allotted by rank, choice and category across several rounds.
Merit — this one paper decides your rank
Marking: +4 correct · −1 wrong
Every question is compulsory and carries 4 marks. There are no sectional time limits — the 180 minutes are yours to allocate. Biology (Botany + Zoology) is 90 of the 180 questions, so accuracy there moves your rank the most.
NEET is a single paper — unlike a two-stage recruitment exam, every one of the 720 marks counts straight toward your All-India Rank. There is no qualifying gate beyond a percentile cut-off and no interview. Biology alone is half the paper.
90 questions — half the paper. Largely NCERT-line recall and diagrams; the highest-accuracy, highest-yield block and the real decider of a medical rank.
45 questions across Physical, Organic and Inorganic. Inorganic and NCERT-fact organic are fast, near-certain marks; physical chemistry adds the calculation.
45 questions — the section most students fear. It is formula-driven problem solving; owning mechanics, electrodynamics and modern physics clears the cut.
The highest-weight chapters in each subject, linked to their notes. Weights are estimates from previous papers where the conducting body publishes none. Your guide weighs these against your own scores.
How NEET is scored, where Biology marks hide, and how to stop losing them to negative marking. Pick one to start, or just talk — Kavya has read your profile either way.
Every fact on this page comes from the exam's blueprint on this site. How the guide uses it: how Guidance works.
