About the exam and pattern

NEET UG is the single national-level medical entrance exam for admission to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH (BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, BNYS), Nursing, Paramedical, and Veterinary courses across India. Conducted by NTA. Pattern: 200 MCQs (Physics 50, Chemistry 50, Biology — Botany 50 + Zoology 50), 3 hours 20 minutes, negative marking (-1 for wrong, +4 for correct). Based on NCERT Class XI & XII syllabi.

Exam pattern: Pen & Paper / CBT (single day, single shift) + MCC/State Counselling (MCC for 15% AIQ)
