NEET 2021 Preparation Tips
Since NEET is the single largest medical entrance exam, it is important for candidates to prepare better. To help aspirants, Careers360 has brought some common yet effective preparations tips that will help them to ace their exam game.
- Set a time-table
The first step for NEET 2021 candidates is to a time table which would be more beneficial for them. They need to allot time for every subject as well as topics. And also set an additional hour for the practice of mock tests, sample papers, and previous year's question paper.
- Practice sample papers and NEET 2021 question papers of previous years
While preparing for NEET 2021, one should never forget to practice the previous year’s question paper as well as sample paper from NEET 2021 best books. The previous year’s question papers will give aspirants an idea of what to expect in NEET 2021. Also, candidates will get to know their weaknesses and areas in which they need improvement.

Making revision notes is less time consuming and it becomes easier with the help of diagrams and flowcharts. When aspirants have only ten days on their hands, preparing notes is one of the smartest things to do.
- Take a few mock tests
Aspirants are advised not to put too much pressure on themselves by taking too many mock tests as it can be overwhelming right before the exam. Instead, take a few mock tests just to maintain the speed.
- Stay motivated
While we understand that the preparation can be stressful and the constant thinking of clear NEET 2021 will affect a candidate’s mental peace, it is equally important to stay motivated and give your best.

Neet 2021 exam date kya h or neet 2021 ka slevus kya h
The neet 2021 application forms has not been released yet. But we can expect that the officials can release the registration forma of neet 2021 in the last of january or the first week of February. And the exam will probably be taken in month of may ( first week ).
Also keep regularly checking the neet offical site for more details.
The syllabus of NEET 2021 will be from Physics, Chemistry, Biology of 11th and class 12th science CBSE syllabus. Also as CBSE has 30% reduced the syllabus for CBSE class 11th and class 12th so, the neet syllabus will be cut accordingly and the same reduced syllabus will be asked in neet as pee the latest news declared by education minister. But as the official brochure has not come, so you can expect the same previous syllabus of neet.

if i were fail in NEET & EAMCET Exams and i got 50% in intermediate , I was in a serious situation to know the answer?? Every one are suggesting me to so the job !, you are not eligible for study!, they saying!!
Don't hear to those who are so demotivating for you. You are always full of probabilities. If you can't crack NEET/EAMCET this time try to do next or try to do anything else if you are interested in it.
Failing an exam doesn't mean that you are a failure. So don't bother with such people. You should follow up and prove yourself.
I hope my answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!
