NEET 2019 Paper Analysis by Resonance
As per analysis by Resonance, the difficulty of Physics in NEET 2019 was higher than Chemistry and Biology. Among the total 45 multiple choice questions in Physics, 9 were difficult and tricky whereas Chemistry had only one very difficult question. The Biology section had a total of 17 difficult questions out of 90 multiple choice questions.
Overall NEET 2019 was found to be quite easier as compared to NEET 2018.The subject matter experts of Resonance said that questions from all subjects were found to be easier than the exam conducted in the last three years, therefore the cutoff should increase and is expected to be around 565 to 570.
Types of questions and the difficulty level of NEET 2018 exam were closely similar to NEET 2017. Both Physics and Chemistry gave a tough time to test takers due to long calculative questions. Few easy questions in Physics required tricky calculations. Biology was tough in comparison to previous years and was again time-consuming. It had few questions out of NCERT syllabus as well. Both Class XI and Class XII syllabus were covered in all the subjects. Check the in depth NEET analysis of 2018 as per the subjects below.
