NEET: Is Physics Causing Nightmares? Doing This Can Make It Easy
How should you study Physics for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)? Most NEET aspirants wonder about this and find Physics daunting.
A common preparation strategy should be followed for all the three subjects included in the NEET syllabus – Biology, Chemistry, Physics – and there should be balance in familiarity with the syllabus, space on the timetable, focus, note-making and NEET mock-tests.
However, NEET aspirants do not always find all subjects equally easy to tackle. The NEET UG does not include a paper on Maths and many students drop the subject for Biology in Classes 11 and 12 . With its heavy dose of Maths, Physics is often the subject that makes most NEET candidates falter.
It is important to note that the Physics section of the NTA NEET exam typically contains a mix of conceptual and numerical problems. The two basic aims while preparing for Physics are to gain conceptual knowledge and apply these concepts in solving problems.
While preparing for Class 11 Physics, NEET aspirants come across Mathematical concepts and fear that Physics is all Mathematics. But the fact is, preparing for Physics is primarily about gaining clarity of concepts. The students will get used to the Mathematics involved when progressing through the subject. After completing Class 11 Mechanics, students will be familiar with the basic concepts of Calculus and Vectors and the rest of Class 11 and 12 Physics will become easier.

NEETPrep: How Important Is Maths?
Students may wonder if they should go for a separate Mathematics course to crack NEET Physics. The answer is “no” if a student is preparing for NEET for a long time, starting from the beginning of Class 11 or preparing for a year. But if a student is in Class 12 and just starting to work toward the test, they can seek the help of online tools that teach basic Mathematics for NEET. Students can watch YouTube videos on Mathematical tools for NEET Physics as well.
If a student is preparing for NEET for a long time, they can get used to the basic Mathematics involved while learning the concepts of Physics and also while practising questions.
A separate Mathematics course is not required but you could try this: while solving problems, note down the important Mathematics concepts involved in solving the problems. That would be enough for a NEET aspirant to crack the problems asked in the exam.
NTA NEET Exam: Most Important Maths Concepts
While solving the problems of Physics, the primary thing is to understand the concepts of Physics involved. Then, apply that knowledge to solve problems.
The steps in the problems may involve Mathematics. It could be concepts from basic Algebra – Quadratic Equations, Logarithm, Indices – and Geometry – mainly Trigonometry and Coordinate Geometry – that students learn up to Class 10. Problems may also involve Vector Algebra, Concept of Solving Determinants and Basic Integral and Differential Calculus formulas.
Given below are some of the chapters in the Class 11 and Class 12 Physics syllabus and the Mathematical concepts they require.
“Motion In A Straight Line”
While studying this NCERT Physics Class 11 chapter, students will come across the concept of differentiation and there are practice problems given in the NCERT Physics book to apply it. Students will find more problems in coaching material.
“Motion In A Plane”
This involves concepts of Vector Notation, Addition and Subtraction Of Vectors, Properties Of Addition and Subtraction Of Vectors and Resolving Vectors. The part on “Projectile Motion” uses some basic Trigonometric Ratios learnt in high school, such as tan x, cos x, sin x and more.
“Laws Of Motion”
This will involve Mathematics that students are already familiar with – basic Differentiation and concepts of Resolution Of Vectors and Addition Of Vectors. By this time students will get to know basic Integration too from their teachers. Basic geometric and algebraic ideas will also be used in solving problems. And a separate section is not required to learn this Basic Algebra And Geometry.
“Work, Energy And Power”
The concepts of Dot Product and its properties will be learnt and the chapter “Rotational Motion” teaches the Cross Product Of Vectors. By the end of the unit on Mechanics, the concepts of basic Mathematics will be covered through Physics problems.
After that, students will find it easier to deal with problems from Thermodynamics and Waves, and Class 12 Physics units on Electromagnetism and “Modern Physics”. For the chapter “Electronic Devices”, it's a good idea to learn the basics of Boolean Algebra to solve the Logic Gate problems easily. Logic Gate problems are frequently asked in NEET.
NEET UG Entrance Exam: Physics Concepts
Finally, the most important factor in cracking NEET Physics is to understand the Physics concepts well.
Study them well and then attempt the questions. Learning concepts through solving questions is not a good idea. Questions are meant gauge how well a student can apply the concepts studied to different kinds of problems. For that, a clear understanding of concepts is required. Once that is achieved, cracking Physics in NEET becomes a matter of practice.
Through practice, students will familiarise themselves with the steps involved in solving the Physics problems. With time they will find Physics has become easy as well.

Thank You
First, understand the NEET syllabus clearly for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Focus only on the NCERT syllabus, as most NEET questions are directly or indirectly based on NCERT, especially in Biology and Chemistry. Avoid unnecessary reference books at this stage.
Divide your 4 months into phases. In the first 2 months, focus on completing the entire syllabus. Study Biology daily, as it carries the highest weightage. Read NCERT Biology line by line, make short notes, and revise regularly. For Chemistry, give priority to NCERT for Inorganic and Organic Chemistry. Practice basic numericals and reactions consistently. In Physics, focus on understanding concepts and practicing standard questions rather than memorizing formulas.
In the third month, start intensive revision along with topic-wise and full-length mock tests. Analyze each test carefully to identify weak areas and work on them. Improve time management and accuracy during this phase.
In the last month, focus mainly on revision and mock tests. Revise NCERT multiple times, especially Biology diagrams, tables, and examples. Avoid learning new topics at the last moment. Maintain a proper sleep schedule and take short breaks to avoid burnout.
Stay consistent, avoid distractions, and believe in your preparation. Even a few focused hours daily with proper planning can make a big difference. All the best!
Scoring 600+ marks in NEET within 4 months is definitely challenging, especially if you are starting almost from scratch, but it is not impossible. It largely depends on your discipline, daily study hours, clarity of basics, and how smartly you plan your preparation.
First, you need to be very realistic and focused. In 4 months, your main goal should be to strengthen NCERT-based concepts rather than trying to study everything in extreme detail. NEET questions are largely NCERT-oriented, especially in Biology and Chemistry. If you can master NCERT thoroughly, your chances improve significantly.
Biology should be your top priority because it carries the maximum weightage and is comparatively scoring. Read NCERT line by line for both Class 11 and 12. Revise multiple times and practice MCQs daily. Even if Physics feels tough initially, focus on high-weightage and formula-based chapters like Modern Physics, Current Electricity, Semiconductors, Ray Optics, and Laws of Motion. Chemistry can be divided smartly: give more time to Organic and Inorganic NCERT, and practice numericals regularly for Physical Chemistry.
You should ideally study 10–12 focused hours daily with a fixed timetable. Daily revision and weekly full-length mock tests are extremely important. Initially, your mock scores may be low, but what matters is consistent improvement and learning from mistakes. Analyze each test carefully to understand weak areas.
Since you are already enrolled in another college, time management becomes even more important. Try to minimize distractions and use early mornings or late evenings effectively. Avoid too many reference books; stick to NCERT and one reliable question bank.
That said, aiming for 600+ in 4 months is ambitious and depends on your learning speed and consistency. Even if you fall slightly short, a strong score improvement can still open opportunities in government or private colleges depending on category and cutoff trends.
Stay disciplined, trust the process, and do not compare your journey with others. Many students have made significant jumps in short durations with focused effort. All the best.
