NEET 2021 Exam Syllabus
NEET helps the Medical Institutes to evaluate the students based on their intellect as well as reasoning. Experts at TG Campus®, through their experience, have compiled a NEET 2021 exam syllabus that will help you prepare for NEET.
NEET 2021 Syllabus
In accordance with the official notification, NEET 2021 Syllabus and Exam Pattern will be exactly same as it was for the year 2021.
Therefore, it is expected that there would be a total of 180 questions which would be divided equally among the different sections.
Each correct answer would be awarded 4 marks while for every incorrect answer 1 mark would be deducted.
