ENGINEERING (JEE) & MEDICAL ( NEET) 2023

Why NEET is a Tough Nut to Crack?

NEET (National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test) is a medical entrance exam conducted for students across India. Any student who wants to get admission to either government or private medical college should crack the NEET examination. NEET 2020 is going to come soon, and the notification for the same will be released in a few days, and the aspirants all over the country would have already getting ready to attempt the exam. People say that the NEET exam is one of the toughest exams in India. Well, there is no exaggeration in that, though. In this article, you are going to know why it is so difficult.

The subjects are the first ones to blame here. NEET consists of three subjects- Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. Physics is one of the toughest subjects for most of the candidates. However, the tough quotient depends upon candidates. For some, aspirants’ physics may seem like a tough subject for other chemistry may seem tough. Either way, the students need to point their weak points and overcome them with rigorous practice.

Less Time and More Syllabus

The time gap between final exams and NEET will be two months, as the syllabus is vast thus it becomes hard for the students to prepare for the exam in such a short period. Although they start the preparation right from their 12th class, it is not easy for the students to complete the entire syllabus in time and attempt the NEET Online Test Series to evaluate themselves. This is one of the most common reasons why students lag in the examination. The lack of time increases the difficulty of examinations.

Syllabus Mismatch with State Board

The NEET exam syllabus is quite different from the state syllabus. The topics match, but there are some extra topics in examinations that cause some huge issues too. Students have to prepare for the NEET exam separately, and this is something that will cost them time and a lot of effort too. Moreover, the NEET exam is conducted almost immediately after the state board finals, and this is another huge setback for the students. They don’t even get enough time to prepare for the exam. When it comes to the syllabus, the CBSC students have an edge as their topics are the same as NEET topics.

Extreme Competition

Do you know that more than 12-13 lakhs of students compete for the NEET exam every year? and this number is increasing every year. There is extreme competition among students makes it tough to crack. Even merit students won’t get the desired results in NEET. 

The tough subjects, competition along with a lot of pressure from people around aspirants will make NEET look like a monster. If the aspirants work hard and prepare according to a schedule, they will make it through the exam.
