Neet has said that section A all the questions are cumpolsary and section B you need to answer only 10 questions. When they say that section A questions are cumpolsary does that mean that I need to mark an answer for all 35 questions even if i dont know some, or can i leave some questions unanswered

Hi


Here's a brief a neet 2021 exam pattern

* Neet examination will be conducted for a total of 720 marks.

*Question will be from 4 subjects

  • physics,

  • chemistry,

  • zooloy

  • botany

*There will be 50 questions ( 35 + 15 ) in each subject . So, there will be a total of 200 questions ( 50 question x 4 = 200 questions).


  • Section A :-  it contains 35 mcqs.

Section A is compulsory, it just means that there's no internal choices in section A. And the 35 questions can be attempted.

No, it is not mandatory to attempt all the 35 questions , you can definitely leave those whose answers  you don't know or you are not sure about because if your answer is wrong then you will lose one mark as there is negative marking of one mark so you should attempt only those questions whose answers you know and  you are sure  about it

  • Section B :- it contains 15 mcqs out of which any 10 mcqs is to be attempted

Similarly, it is not mandatory that you attend all the 10 MCQs out of the 15 MCQs in section B, you should attempt only those whose answers you know , it is just that in section B you have internal choices due to which you can attempt only a maximum of 10 MCQs in section B .

So, in each subject you have to attempt only 45 questions.

*Total number of question to be attempted

= 45 mcqs per subject x 4 subject

= 180 questions can be attempted.

* Duration of examination is 3 hours.

Marking scheme:-

* 4 marks will be awarded to you for every correct answer

* there is negative marking of one mark for every wrong answer

*No mark is deducted for unanswered questions
