NEET Preparation Tips 2026
National Testing Agency (NTA) · Reviewed by Mentora’s academic team
How do you prepare for NEET?
- Make NCERT Biology (Class 11 and 12) your primary text and read it line by line, since a large share of Biology questions map directly to NCERT statements.
- Because all 180 questions are compulsory again, build broad coverage rather than relying on skipping weaker chapters.
- Manage negative marking carefully — avoid blind guessing, since each wrong answer costs one mark.
- Practise on OMR sheets under timed conditions to get used to the offline bubbling format and avoid marking errors.
- Prioritise high-yield chapters such as Human Physiology, Genetics, Organic Chemistry and Mechanics, identified from past-paper analysis.
- Take regular full-length mocks and revise with short notes and flashcards for rapid recall of facts and formulae.
