The country’s largest medical entrance examination NEET-2020 was completed in a shift on Sunday. Precautions were taken in view of Covid-19 in this examination conducted in pen-paper mode.
Brijesh Maheshwari, director of the Allen Career Institute, said that NEET’s paper overall was normal this year. So students can score more marks this time. Cut off is also likely to be more this time.
There was confusion among students regarding the language of each question in Physics and Biology. Physical chemistry was easy in the chemistry. In other subjects, there was a general paper like last year, but some questions remained different this time. At the same time, the NCERT syllabus was completely followed. Difficulty level was low. According to the marking pattern, 4 marks will be given for each correct answer. 1 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. No marks will be given or deducted for unanswered questions.
