NEET

National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the NEET examination every year in offline mode. It is considered one of the toughest examinations in India. A wide syllabus and complicated question paper make it tough for the students to crack the NEET exam. Students often ask, “Which are the best books for NEET preparation” and “Which is the best study material for NEET?”

Students have started their preparations for the NEET Exam 2022 and the NEET Exam 2023. There are a wide variety of study material and a huge range of books available in the material. Most of the publishers claim they have the best books or the best study material for NEET Exam. Maybe their claims are true but the question is, what criteria they have set to claim the best books for NEET?

When we go to the market, we find comprehensive study material. Though the syllabus is one, there are a hundred types of books and study material in the market. This often confuses us and we are unable to make the correct choice. “We should not purchase a book only on the basis of the reputation of a writer or the publisher”, says Noor Nawaz Khan, Director of Delhi-based premium coaching institute for NEET, The Hind Guru Academy in Okhla. “We should check whether the book covers all the topics, have an easy language, easy to understand and clears all our doubts”, he adds.

Actually, preparation for NEET is all about clearing our basic concepts and making the basic strategies. “It doesn’t matter how many pages are there in a book rather what matters is the content”, says Rachna Mittal, a Delhi-based Biology tutor for NEET, while adding that “a good book is the one that clears the doubts and strengthens our knowledge base.

Which book meets the criteria? Experts suggest, “NCERT books still lead the race”, though many publishers have come up with point-to-point, comprehensive books, and study material. Also, premium coaching institutes like Akash, Narayana, Bansal, and The Hind Guru Academy have developed their own study material. These institutes eliminate surplus topics, add a variety of questions and provide content that is easy to understand. Even though some of the institutes charge a high royalty for their study material, but it is worth purchasing.

Hopefully, this clears the confusion about the good books for NEET. Still, if you have some confusion and want to know more about the syllabus, course, and books for the NEET Exam, visit our blog here.

NEET 2021 Result, Cut-off, Score, Admission in Government Medical Colleges

NEET

More than 16 lakh candidates have attempted the NEET exam 2021 conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). To check the results students must visit the official website of NTA, i.e. www.neet.nta.nic.in. After accessing the site, students are asked to log in by entering roll number and date of birth. A scorecard with All India Rank scored marks, and percentile score then appears on the screen. Also, marks corresponding to the cut-off percentile are also announced with the NEET result.

Once the student gets his/her scorecard, starts the race for admissions. In 2020 cut off for the unreserved or the general category students was 720-147. For OBC students cut off was 146-113, while 146-113 for SC/ST’s, 146-129 for UR/EWS- PH, and 128-113 for OBC/SC/ST – PH.

NTA prepares an all India merit list on the basis of cut-off and marks secured by the candidates in the NEET exam. Students who score more than the cut-off are eligible for 15 per cent of all India quota counselling. All India Quota is to be filled based on NEET 2021 rank and as per the statutory regulation of MCI/NMC/DCI. For the admission to the remaining 85 per cent of seats, states are supposed to conduct individual counselling. This year NTA conducted the NEET UG Exam on September 12, 2021, across 202 cities at 3858 centres across India and abroad.

Now, the question is, how marks will be enough to secure a seat in top Medical Colleges? Experts say it is a tricky question. It depends on the merit and quota mathematics. As per norms, students from the general or unreserved category needs a 50 cut-off percentile. It means, 360 or above marks out of 720 are required in order to get admission to MBBS in a government medical college. But, this is only a criterion. In 2020 students who failed to get 580 marks missed the chance.

“We have students who scored 578 and 577 but they didn’t get a seat in government medical college”, says Tanvir Ahmed, coordinator for NEET course at Delhi based coaching institute, The Hind Guru Academy. “Students make silly mistakes and miss their chance”, he adds.

So, be ready for your NEET result in 2021. Log in to the site carefully. Don’t rush and keep calm as the extra burden on the server may cause some delay. We wish all the best to the students who have appeared this year for the NEET exam.

If you aren’t selected, don’t get disheartened. Make a fresh start, work hard and try again. If there is any difficulty or other issue, we are there to help you. Visit our site www.thehindguru.com to get proper guidance for the NEET exam and admission to medical colleges.

Scoring full 720 marks in the NEET exam isn’t impossible

Attempting a NEET exam and scoring the maximum 720 marks in three hours is a very tricky thing. Most of the students fell prey to depression, anxiety or stress. Though it is tough, scoring full 720 marks in the NEET exam isn’t impossible.

A NEET exam question paper contains a total of 180 questions. It is a multiple-choice question or MCQ format paper. Out of these 180 questions, 45 are asked in Physics, 45 in Chemistry, and 45 each in Botany and Zoology. Each correct response gets 4 marks and for every wrong answer, 1 mark is deducted. Half-filled bubbles are rarely counted by the OMR reader and multi responses as considered a wrong attempt.

To score the maximum marks, the student should keep himself calm, composed, and confident. You have prepared a lot to attempt this exam, so believe in yourself and your hard work. Be careful that you follow all the instructions in the examination hall. While filling in the details and filling the bubbles on the OMR sheet always be extra vigilant. Never attempt an answer in haste, nor fill in your details incorrectly.

Never care for the minor mistakes as this may not cancel your answer sheet. According to the rules mentioned by the National Testing Agency (NTA), no OMR sheet goes unchecked. Even if you have made any mistake in filling in your details it will be checked, unless there is something unbearable.

So, it’s time to answer the questions. Aspirants often ask, “What’s the best way to respond to the question paper?” It is tricky though, but the experiences suggest, one must go for the easiest one first. According to Syed Tanwir Ahmed, coordinator of NEET at Delhi-based premier coaching institute, “The Hind Guru Academy,” always start answering from the portion that is most comfortable for you”.

“Even if there are tough questions in the start and you are not able to answer, five, six, seven of them, don’t panic. Try to switch to the other paper or the next portion and surely it will work”, adds Syed Tanwir Ahmed who teaches Biology for NEET.

Most of the Gurus suggest panic and anxiety are the worst enemies in the examination hall. If the question paper is tough, it is tough for all. If an aspirant is dropping the marks, he is not alone. So, keeping calm and composed is the key to success. “Attempt the easiest questions and if you have spare time, then try to attempt the harder ones. But remember, never answer a wrong question and leave it blank. Even a drop of a single mark can get you out of the merit”, says Manish Gautam, another teacher from Delhi who helps the students in preparation for NEET.
