Key findings · NEET 2024
- 1
54% of questions were easy, in line with the ten-year average of 54%.
- 2
About 37 questions (19%) needed a calculation, against 21% on average; Physics alone was 44% calculation.
- 3
Biodiversity and Conservation got the biggest boost: 5 questions against a usual 2.1, followed by Biomolecules (6 vs 3.1).
- 4
Physics tilted to Class 12: 30 of 50 questions, against a usual 56%.
- 5
59% of tagged questions tested an idea no earlier paper had asked, the lowest of the 9 papers measured, yet 98% came from a topic seen before.
