The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG) is India’s sole national-level medical entrance examination conducted annually by the National Testing Agency (NTA). It serves as the single-window gateway for admission into undergraduate medical, dental, and AYUSH courses across all prestigious government, central, deemed, and private medical institutions in the country, including AIIMS (All India Institutes of Medical Sciences), JIPMER, AFMC, and state medical universities.
Candidates planning to take the NEET UG examination must meet the eligibility criteria established by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and NTA:
Candidate must have completed a minimum of 17 years of age on or before December 31st of the admission year. As per NMC regulations, there is no upper age limit.
Passed or appearing in Class 12 / Higher Secondary (10+2) or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as mandatory subjects.
General / EWS: 50% aggregate in PCB
OBC / SC / ST: 40% aggregate in PCB
PwD (General): 45% aggregate in PCB
Open to Indian Citizens, NRIs, OCIs, PIOs, and Foreign Nationals. There is no restriction on the number of attempts a candidate can take.
NEET UG follows a structured objective multiple-choice question (MCQ) format covering 4 sections: Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology. Each subject contains two sections: Section A (35 mandatory questions) and Section B (15 questions, where candidates attempt any 10).
| Subject | Section A (Compulsory) | Section B (Attempt 10 of 15) | Total Questions to Attempt | Subject Maximum Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physics | 35 Questions (140 Marks) | 15 Questions (40 Marks) | 45 Questions | 180 Marks |
| Chemistry | 35 Questions (140 Marks) | 15 Questions (40 Marks) | 45 Questions | 180 Marks |
| Botany (Biology) | 35 Questions (140 Marks) | 15 Questions (40 Marks) | 45 Questions | 180 Marks |
| Zoology (Biology) | 35 Questions (140 Marks) | 15 Questions (40 Marks) | 45 Questions | 180 Marks |
| Grand Total | 140 Questions (560 Marks) | 60 Questions (160 Marks) | 180 Questions | 720 Marks |
The syllabus is aligned with the Core Curriculum recommended by the NMC, NCERT, and CBSE boards for Senior Secondary education:
Qualifying NEET UG grants eligibility for Central (MCC) and State Quota counselling for the following healthcare programs:
Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) across all AIIMS, JIPMER, Central, and State Government Medical Colleges.
Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine (BAMS), Homeopathy (BHMS), Unani Medicine (BUMS), Siddha Medicine (BSMS), and Naturopathy & Yoga (BNYS).
Admissions to B.Sc. Nursing programs in premier institutes like AFMC, BHU, and JIPMER, along with Physiotherapy (BPT) and Medical Lab Technology.
Undergraduate degree courses in Veterinary Sciences & Animal Husbandry across Recognized Veterinary Colleges under 15% All India Quota.
Over 85-90% of Biology questions are directly framed from NCERT text, diagrams, and summaries. Build concise flashcards and summary notes.
Reinforce conceptual clarity by attempting timed topic quizzes on Target Exams immediately after finishing each NCERT unit.
Solving past years’ question papers exposes high-frequency topics, numerical patterns in Physics, and mechanism questions in Organic Chemistry.
Simulate the official 3h 20m exam environment under real test conditions to improve question selection and time management.
NEET UG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate) is the single national-level medical entrance examination in India conducted annually by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, BSMS, BVSc & AH, and B.Sc. Nursing courses in all approved government and private medical colleges, including AIIMS and JIPMER.
Candidates who have passed or are appearing in their 10+2 / Higher Secondary Examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as core subjects are eligible. Candidates must be at least 17 years old by December 31 of the year of admission. There is no upper age limit, and candidates who took Biology as an additional subject are also eligible.
NEET UG is a 3-hour 20-minute (200 minutes) exam consisting of 200 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), out of which candidates must attempt 180 questions for a total of 720 marks. The paper is split into four subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology. Each subject has Section A (35 mandatory questions) and Section B (15 questions, attempt any 10).
Every correct answer is awarded +4 marks, while each incorrect answer incurs a deduction of -1 mark (-0.25 negative marking ratio). Unattempted or unanswered questions carry 0 marks.
Candidates in the General/EWS category must secure at least 50% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology in Class 12. For OBC/SC/ST categories, the requirement is 40%, and for PwD candidates in the general category, it is 45%.
NCERT textbooks form the primary foundation for NEET UG, especially for Biology (where 90%+ questions are directly NCERT-based) and Inorganic/Organic Chemistry. However, mastering numerical applications in Physics and Physical Chemistry requires regular practice of standard question banks, previous year papers (PYQs), and timed CBT mock tests on platforms like Target Exams.
Target Exams provides 100% free chapter-wise practice tests, topic-wise question sets, and full-length CBT mock exams with instant automated evaluation (+4/-1 scoring), detailed step-by-step solutions, accuracy tracking, and time management insights.
