Get acquainted with the exam pattern

Aspirants can gather a clear picture of the exam pattern by solving NEET 2025 mock tests and getting familiar with the time of questions asked. Expert Anand Nagarajan shares that “Test series and mocks are very important to get into the exam mindset and to begin thinking in the manner suitable for the exam.”

Understanding time management

Time is a major constraint and managing time in NEET properly is going to make all the difference especially since the mode of the exam will be offline. Practising mock tests will help candidates build a proper time management strategy for the three sections of NEET 2025.

Building precision

Solving mock tests regularly will help candidates enhance their accuracy and restrain the impact of negative marking in the exam. As suggested by Mr Nagarjan “Taking a good number of mock tests and model exams based on NEET 2025 will give students the feel and the ‘pinch’ of negative marking.”

Confidence booster

Aspirants achieve a certain level of satisfaction if they perform well in mock tests and NEET previous year question papers which in turn uplifts their confidence. It also helps them ensure that their NEET preparation 2025 is on the right track and increases their familiarity with the exam pattern.

How to give NEET Mock Test 2025?

The medical UG entrance test, the NEET exam is attempted every year by lakhs of candidates and nearly everyone tries and solves mock tests in their preparation phase. Still, how is it that a much lesser number manage to pass the exam with flying colours? There ought to be something that certain aspirants do differently than others. If taking up mock tests right is the cue, then how should one go about it?

Let’s find out below the strategies recommended by toppers and experts regarding solving mock tests of NEET 2025 and getting the best out of it.

Solve previous years’ papers

Experts recommend that students solve papers from several previous question years of NEET (and AIPMT before it) but also likewise entrances such as AIIMS and JIPMER MBBS provided that the syllabus is similar to that of the one prescribed for NEET 2025. However, all other exams like AIIMS MBBS and JIPMER MBBS have been merged under the NEET. So, it is known to all that NEET 2025 is a single entrance exam for taking admission to a medical UG course.

“Take at least 15 mocks and previous 12 years’ papers before the final exam and follow them up with performance analysis”, says Mr Nagarajan. Tamoghna Ghosh, an AIIMS MBBS topper, on a similar note, added that “I solved past 30 years’ question papers to understand the pattern and question types. I used to take a lot of mock tests and got them thoroughly analyzed by mentors”.

Practice mock tests of different kinds

NEET Mock Tests 2025 can either be subject/topic or full-length. Aspirants must try and solve as many different types of mock tests for NEET 2025, as befitting their situations.

Specific questions of a subject or topic can be practised from NEET 2025 question banks to solidify one’s concept and develop expertise. Solving mocks subject-wise will help NEET 2025 aspirants ace every subject individually. While preparing for Physics, considered one of the more difficult subjects, this strategy especially proves to be fruitful. For NEET 2025 preparation, practising full-length mocks is also equally important. The benefits of practising mocks for NEET 2025 cannot be fully reaped until one focuses on full-length mock tests.

Performance evaluation

During the NEET preparation, the evaluation of performance after every mock test is the key factor that comes into play. It helps in the identification of errors and gives aspirants a chance to work on them. Focus on the score of all three subjects Physics, Chemistry, and Biology

The following aspects should be kept in mind while preparing for NEET 2025 using mock tests.

  • Time management

  • Negative marks being lost

  • Subject-wise performance

  • Analyzing weak and strong areas

Always beware of negative marking

On NEET 2025 exam day, authorities will not provide chances for trial and error. In NEET, for every wrong answer, candidates will lose one mark. Therefore, keep evaluating the performance in this context while solving mock tests, and try to limit the marks lost due to wrong answers.

Always time your attempts

As NEET is an offline exam, aspirants must attempt about 15-30 odd mock tests by simulating the exact exam day environment within the exact time frame allotted. This will ensure that candidates analyse to how much time to devote per question depending on its difficulty on the actual exam day.

The answer on how to crack NEET 2025 using the mock test described in the article above is written as per the expert's and toppers' advice.

Questions related to NEET

Have a question related to NEET ?

Dear aspirant !!

Hope you are doing well !!

To join CIT (Central Institute of Technology) or any other engineering institute, the marks and eligibility criteria usually depend on the specific course you're interested in and the entrance exam requirements.

Since you've mentioned completing your 12th class 2 years ago and spending the past 2 years preparing for the NEET exam, here's what you should know:

  1. For Engineering (CIT or similar institutes) : Most engineering institutes, including CIT, generally require JEE Main scores for admission to B.Tech programs. To be eligible for JEE, the typical requirements are:

    • 12th Marks : You should have passed your 12th exam with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects, and generally, you need a minimum of 50% in these subjects combined. The exact percentage criteria can vary depending on the institution.
    • JEE Main Score : The JEE Main exam is typically the key criterion for admission to B.Tech courses, so you will need to appear for JEE Main and achieve a good score for admission.
  2. Age Limit : The age limit for JEE Main is generally 25 years for general category candidates (with relaxation for reserved categories). Since you've completed your 12th two years ago, you should be within the age limit, but it's good to confirm with the specific institute for any age-related conditions.

  3. NEET and Engineering : Since you prepared for NEET, it’s important to note that NEET is primarily for medical courses like MBBS, BDS, and related fields, so NEET scores are not relevant for engineering programs like B.Tech. However, if you are interested in medical engineering (like Biomedical Engineering), then NEET may have a partial relevance depending on the course and university.

Next Steps : You would likely need to appear for JEE Main if you haven't done so yet and meet the eligibility criteria for CIT or other engineering institutes.

It's also advisable to visit the official CIT website for the exact admission process and eligibility details. Let me know if you need further clarification or help!


Hello!!


The B.E./B.Tech program offered by CIT consists of 8 semesters (4 years) in duration.


A Pass in the HSC(Academic: both +1 and +2)or its equivalent with a minimum average percentage :


General Category 45 %


BC and BCM 40 %


MBC & DNC 40 %


SC/SCA/ST 40 %


A pass in any one of the HSC(Vocational Subject: both +1 and +2)as given below with any one of the Engineering related subjects namely Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry with minimum percentage as given below


General Category 45 %


BC and BCM 40 %


MBC & DNC 40 %


SC/SCA/ST 40 %





Dear

To join CII (Central Institute of Technology) or any other institute, the eligibility criteria generally depend on the entrance exams, such as JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) or other specific exams for the college you are interested in.

For CII or similar institutes, you would need to:

  1. Eligibility for JEE : Since you completed your 12th two years ago and have spent time preparing for NEET, if you are looking to join an engineering program, you would likely need to appear for the JEE Main and Advanced exams. Usually, for JEE eligibility, the candidates must have passed the 12th board exam with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects.

  2. Age Limit : There are generally age restrictions for JEE, and candidates must be within a certain age limit (usually 25 years for general candidates, with a relaxation for reserved categories).

  3. Marks Requirement : For JEE Main, you typically need a minimum of 75% marks in your 12th board exam (or be in the top 20 percentile in your respective board exam) to be eligible for admission to NITs and other centrally funded institutions. The exact eligibility for specific colleges like CII will depend on their own guidelines.

  4. Valid NEET Scores : Since you spent two years preparing for NEET, if you are still interested in pursuing a medical field, NEET scores can be considered for admission to medical colleges, but for engineering or technology courses, NEET scores generally won’t be relevant unless you are looking for a course in Biomedical Engineering or a similar niche

Dear

The exact number of NEET aspirants in India who do not give the NEET exam due to age-related issues is not officially documented. However, this situation arises because the upper age limit for NEET has been a significant point of concern for many students. As per the official guidelines:

  1. Age Limit for NEET : The eligibility criteria for NEET state that candidates must be at least 17 years old by December 31 of the year of admission, and the upper age limit is 25 years (with a 5-year relaxation for SC/ST/OBC candidates).

  2. Impact of Age Limit : Many aspiring medical students, who may not fulfill the age requirement or who take time to prepare for the exam after completing their 12th grade, are often unable to appear for NEET. This has led to frustration among many students who wish to pursue a medical career but cannot due to age restrictions.

However, the number of students affected by this issue varies every year, and it would require data from the National Testing Agency (NTA) or specific surveys to determine a precise figure. If you’re concerned about age limits or looking for alternative routes to medical education, there are a few options, like exploring medical colleges abroad or looking into alternative fields within healthcare.

If you want to stay updated on any changes in NEET eligibility or age limits, keep an eye on official announcements from the NTA or relevant education authorities.

Hi Nahid, There's no upper age limit for NEET, no aspirants are ineligible due to age and forced to take a drop year. The only age requirement is a minimum of 17 years as of December 31st of the year of admission.
