Biology (Botany & Zoology)
Biology is 50% of the paper. Read the NCERT lines, tables, and diagrams rigorously. Aim to finish these 90 questions in under 45 minutes to save time for Physics.
Physics

Divided into Physical, Organic, and Inorganic. Treat Inorganic like Biology (NCERT only). For Physical, focus on numerics and Organic requires reaction mechanism clarity.
Mock Tests & OMR
Practice filling the OMR sheet in every mock test. The 200 minutes go by incredibly fast. Solve the past 10 years of NEET/AIPMT papers.
