Biology was a crucial portion of NEET 2024 Question paper as it contains half of the NEET 2024 question paper. In NEET 2024 question paper the subject biology is divided into two portions: Zoology and Botany. These two portions carry 360 marks which is half of the total maximum marks in NEET 2024 question paper. So it becomes important to make a detail analysis that the questions come from zoology and botany are easy or tough. Here, I make a detail analysis of all the zoology and botany questions from NEET 2024 question paper on the basis of difficulty level, topic wise and chapter wise distribution etc.
NEET 2024 Question paper
NATIONAL ELIGIBILITY CUM ENTRANCE TEST [NEET-UG] is on of the highest competitive test in India for pursuing admission in undergraduate medical courses. National Testing Agency (NTA), a government agency of Education Ministry (India) conduct [NEET-UG] every year. This year, NEET 2024 held on 5th may, 2024 in pen and paper mode. The NEET 2024 question paper contains 200 questions for four subjects: physics. chemistry, zoology and botany
For zoology and botany in NEET 2024 question paper, each has two sections which contain 50 questions. Section A contains 35 questions which all were compulsory to attempt. Section B contains 15 questions from which only 10 questions should be attempted.
