NEET Paper Analysis 2017:

Biology:

The Biology section comprised of an equal number of questions from Class 11 and Class 12 syllabus. Some of the questions were not from the NCERT textbook. It has been reported that one of the questions had wrong options and therefore aspirants will be demanding bonus marks. Maximum weightage of the questions were from Cytology, Physiology, Genetics, and Ecology. The paper was relatively on the easier side as compared to the last year's exam.

Physics:

Physics section was a calculative one. Out of all the questions, 40% of the questions were tough, the other 40% were moderate and the rest 20% was easy. Some of the questions were repeated from previous years' papers.

Chemistry:

In Chemistry, the difficulty level of the questions was on the higher side compared to last year's exam. Around 1/3rd of the questions were from class 11, while the rest were from class 12. Many of the questions were not from the NCERT textbook. Two questions had "two options" that were correct while in another question none of the correct options was mentioned.

Analysis of NEET 2016 Question Paper:

Biology:

The difficulty level of this section was slightly higher than that in 2015. Questions that were directly taken from NCERT textbook were less; most of the questions involved more brainstorming.
 
The section was tough for students who only referred to NCERT books and did not practice a variety of questions along with applied concepts. The questions were taken from all the topics and therefore it can be labeled as a balanced section. More than 50% of the questions were based on class XI syllabus.

Physics:

The Physics section was difficult. 20 questions were from Class 12 syllabus and 25 questions from Class 11 syllabus. Overall 17 questions were difficult,  another set of 17 questions were moderate and rest of the 11 questions were easy.
 
The questions were mostly formula based and had lengthy calculations. NCERT could cover only the easy questions. But other supplementary books were needed for attempting medium & difficult questions.

Chemistry:

The level of difficulty of questions in this section was standard. Students should follow books beyond NCERT as about 23 percent of the questions were out of NCERT books and were difficult.
