Taijas: I did my schooling at Yadavindra Public School, Mohali till Class 10 and Class 10+2 from Guru Nanak Public School, Sector 36-D, Chandigarh. The inspiration to take medicine as a career came from my parents since they are both doctors. I have an elder sister who is pursuing BBA.

Taijas: Like I said my parents have been my inspiration. In Class 10, I decided to take medical as a stream and got serious about pursuing it in the future.

Careers360: Is this your first attempt?

Taijas: Yes, it was my first attempt.

Careers360: How much time did you devote to self-study?

Taijas: First, I decided to prepare a day-wise NEET study plan. Also, I divided the time I wanted to give to each section. I never gave myself pressure.

Careeres360: What do you think is better coaching or self-study?

Taijas: First comes the coaching because there, you get a proper direction to prepare since you cannot do it by yourself. But yes, it is also important how well you revise the topics that you study daily.

Careers360: How was the NEET UG preparation different from the early days to just a month before the exam?

Taijas: I was extremely cool about my preparation in the beginning, however, I felt a little stressed after my board exams. So I started giving more time to studies during the last month.

Careers360: What was your exam day strategy? What was the roughest and the easiest section, according to you?

Taijas: My exam day strategy is to keep calm and not let the exam stress take over my brain. Also to complete the questions I find easy at the first and the hard ones at the end. I solved Zoology at the beginning. I found Bootony tough in the NEET 2024 question paper, as well as section B of Physics.

Careers360: Which college is your dream college for studying medicine? Which specialisation would you be interested in?

Taijas: AIIMS, New Delhi is my dream college. I either want to be a cardiologist or a radiologist, however, I will decide after I complete my MBBS.

Careers360: To whom do you attribute your successful NEET topper journey?

Taijas: I want to dedicate my success to my parents, my entire family and my teachers.

Careers360: What would you suggest to future NEET aspirants in terms of preparation, attitude, etc?

Taijas: My message to future NEET aspirants is to focus completely on the NCERT and what they are studying in school. All sections in NEET exam are mostly based on NCERT.

Questions related to NEET

Hello

Having different signatures on your NEET registration forms for different attempts can cause issues during document verification or at the examination center.

It’s important that your signature matches across all official documents, including your registration form, admit card and ID proof.

If your signature has changed, it's advisable to:

1. Contact NEET authorities through their helpline or official email to explain the situation.

2. Use the same signature you used in your first attempt, if possible to avoid complications.

3. Carry an affidavit stating the reason for the signature change if you have legally updated your signature, though this might not be necessary unless specified.

It's always better to clarify with official sources to avoid disqualification or issues during verification.

hope this helps you .

According to the latest NEET exam pattern , the Botany and Zoology sections are still separate within the Biology section, but combined to form a total of 90 questions in the Biology section, with 45 questions each from Botany and Zoology. l

Although considered one "Biology" section, the NEET exam still presents questions distinctly categorized as Botany and Zoology.

Both Botany and Zoology usually have an equal number of questions (45 each) within the Biology section.

The current NEET exam pattern maintains this structure with separate Botany and Zoology sections within the Biology subject.

Hello there,

NEET Difficulty and SCERT Books :

NEET is a competitive exam, and while SCERT books (State Council of Educational Research and Training) can help build a foundation, they may not be sufficient on their own for scoring high marks. NEET requires in-depth knowledge of subjects like Physics , Chemistry , and Biology at a higher level. You should ideally refer to NCERT textbooks , previous years' papers , and NEET-specific study materials for better preparation.

NEET Cutoff for MBBS in South India :

The NEET cutoff for MBBS seats varies depending on factors such as the category (General, OBC, SC, ST), the college , and the state . For top medical colleges in South India (like AIIMS , JIPMER , and state government colleges ), the cutoff can range from around 550 to 700 marks for general category students, while for reserved categories , it could be lower (around 400 to 500 marks ). Always check specific college cutoffs for the most accurate information.

Possibility of Scoring 300 in NEET with One Month of Practice :

If you score 300 marks in NEET after just 1 month of practice , it could be challenging to significantly improve unless you already have a strong foundation in the subjects. However, with focused and consistent practice on high-yield topics and important chapters, it is possible to improve your score in a month. Key strategies should include:

  1. Prioritize Important Topics : Focus on areas with high weightage like Biology , and Physical Chemistry .

  2. Take Mock Tests : Take as many mock tests as possible to familiarize yourself with the exam pattern and time management.

  3. Revise : Spend time revising key concepts and formulas, especially in Physics and Chemistry .

  4. Stay Consistent : Consistency and proper time management in the final month are crucial.

It’s tough, but with intense dedication, some improvement in score is possible.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
