National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is the only entrance exam for admission to undergraduate medical courses in the country. The competition is fierce and getting admission to a top medical college means there’s no room for silly mistakes. Candidates need to have a strategic approach and a rigorous plan to ace this exam.
In the NEET exam, questions are asked from Physics, Chemistry, Biology (Botany and Zoology). Out of all the three sections, chemistry is considered to be the easiest by NEET test takers. Scoring marks in this subject becomes easy if candidates have mastery over the concepts. Having an idea of chapter-wise weightage of concepts will help candidates to strategize a time-plan to be devoted to a particular topic/subject. The weightage is prepared according to the previous year NEET question papers.
