NEET 2020 – Paper Analysis
NEET-2020 was again conducted by NTA. This time all the questions were NCERT based. The overall difficulty was moderate: physics was again the toughest section because of the direct, and formulae-based questions. On the other hand, the chemistry section was lengthy but easy. Because of the calculations, there was an equal number of questions from physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry. The biology was elementary, and the questions were taken directly from the NCERT syllabus.
