NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is the single entrance exam for MBBS, BDS, and AYUSH admissions in India. With over 24 lakh students competing for approximately 1 lakh MBBS seats, NEET is one of the most competitive exams in the world. Here's your complete preparation guide for 2025.

Subject-wise Preparation Strategy

Biology (Most Important — 50% Weightage)

  • NCERT Biology (Class 11 & 12) is the Bible for NEET — read it 5+ times
  • Focus on Human Physiology, Plant Physiology, Genetics, and Ecology
  • Make short notes and diagrams for quick revision
  • Solve NCERT exemplar questions
  • Target 340+ in Biology for a good rank

Chemistry

  • Organic Chemistry — reaction mechanisms and named reactions
  • Physical Chemistry — numerical practice daily
  • Inorganic Chemistry — NCERT is sufficient
  • Target 150+ in Chemistry

A score of 650+ in NEET typically secures a government MBBS seat in a good state medical college. For AIIMS and top government colleges, aim for 680+.

Revision Strategy

  • Revise NCERT Biology at least 5 times before the exam
  • Solve 50+ mock tests in the last 3 months
  • Analyse every mock test — understand why you got questions wrong
  • Focus on NCERT diagrams — many questions are diagram-based
  • Maintain a formula sheet for Physics and Chemistry
