NEET UG paper analysis — what actually got asked
Topic-by-topic weightage averaged across 2022-2024 papers. Use this to decide where to invest study hours, not where to skim. Source ↗ · verified 2026-05.

Takeaways for prep planning
- Biology carries ~50% of total marks (360/720). Strong Bio + average Physics still wins many MBBS seats.
- NCERT Biology Class 11 & 12 cover ~92% of the Bio paper — full mastery there is non-negotiable.
- Physics is the highest-variance subject — most rank movement on a fresh attempt comes from Physics improvement, not Bio.
