NEET 2020 Preparation
The National Testing Agency has made many changes to the only All India Pre-Medical Test in the country. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is the only gateway to take admission to the undergraduate medical and dental courses in any Indian college or institute.
NEET is the only UG medical entrance exam medical aspirants should focus on now. However, students who qualify NEET and want to take admission in the MBBS courses of the Institutes of National Importance (INIs) like AIIMS and JIPMER will have to meet the institutes' eligibility criteria and minimum qualifying marks.
NEET 2020 will be held on May 3, 2020 - the first Sunday of May.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) has introduced some changes to the exam in the light of the new National Medical Commission (NMC) Bill. The Bill will come into full force by 2021. The new Bill states that the 60-year old Medical Council of India (MCI) will now be replaced by the all-new NMC.
The NEET paper will be a single paper of three-hour duration. It will have a total of 180 objective-type questions (in the MCQ format), which will include:
- 45 questions from Physics,
- 45 questions from Chemistry, and
- 90 questions from Biology (including both Botany and Zoology).
The question paper will carry a total of 720 marks. Each correct answer will be awarded 4 marks and for each incorrect answer, 1 mark will be deducted from the total score of the student. There is no penalty for not attempting a question.
