Subject-Wise Question Paper Analysis by Aakash Institute

On 5th May, almost more than 24 lakh candidates appeared in the NEET-UG (2024) - a test through which admissions to the major medical courses like MBBS and BDS in AIIMS, JIPMER, and other medical colleges in India will be sought. Let's take a look at the subject- wise question paper analysis prepared by the experts at the Aakash Institute.
Quick overview of the question paper:
NEET-UG (2024) was conducted in pen-and-paper mode. The question paper, which was majorly NCERT-based, comprised 4 subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology. The total marks stood at 720, whereas the duration of the test was 200 minutes. Each subject consisted of two sections: Section A, with 35 questions, and Section B, with 15 questions. Out of the 15 questions in Section B, you had to attempt any 10. However, it's vital to remember that correct options marked will earn you 4 marks, while each incorrect answer will deduct 1 mark. Unattempted questions will neither gain nor cost you any marks.
Overall difficulty level: Moderate
Analysis of Physics questions
● Difficulty level - Difficult and lengthy (in comparison with the previous-year question paper)
● 70-75% of the questions were numerical, whereas 25-30% were theory-based.
● Some questions were time-taking because of the long mathematical calculations needed to answer them.
● The multi-statement-based questions were tricky and time-consuming.
● The questions related to Wheatstone Bridge were a little bit difficult and required out-of-the-box thinking capability.
● One question was beyond the scope of the syllabus recommended by NTA for the NEET-UG (2024).
