NEET Analysis 2017

Given below is the subject wise detailed analysis of NEET 2017 question paper.

 OVERALL MARKS DISTRIBUTION: The paper had 180 questions each worth 4 marks. All questions were objective type with single correct option. There were 45 questions from Physics and Chemistry, and 90 questions were from Biology (Zoology and Botany sections of Biology).

PHYSICS Analysis:

Physics paper had a mix of easy, moderate and difficult questions. It had almost 50% questions, which were of calculative nature which lead to Physics question paper time consuming due to fractional calculations. Roughly, 30% questions were theoretical and were brainstorming in nature. Most of the questions had two or more concepts interlinked and were not straightforward.

This is the breakup of different topics:

CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS:

Chemistry Questions paper is concerned, the paper was of above average level. Nearly 30% questions were difficult and required strong conceptual clarity. One question has ambiguity while two questions were found beyond the scope of NCERT.

This is the breakup of different topics:

BIOLOGY ANALYSIS:

The Biology portion of the NEET 2017 included mostly average type of questions. Most of the questions were based on the statements given in NCERT but some questions were not directly asked from NCERT. All clear questions mostly from NCERT directly, 60% weightage given to 12th portion. Students will find it easier to score in comparison to last year phase -1 & 2 NEET.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL ANALYSIS: NO OF QUESTIONS

Difficulty level of NEET 2017 was similar to difficulty level of NEET-1 of 2016. Chemistry was on easier side compared to other subjects. Botany and Zoology was on tougher side compared to Chemistry and Physics. Most of the questions were based on concepts given in NCERT. One can conclude that 60-70% of the complete paper was a clear reflection of NCERT.

One has to agree, a change in trend was witnessed this year as the bar of difficulty level was definitely seen higher since questions required exceptional calculation skills. While in Biology a major fraction of questions were from class XI but in Physics & Chemistry it was nearly an equal share between XI & XII class
