Preparing for the NEET is the first step and this starts in class 11 for most students aspiring to appear for the exam. With the fierce competition and less seats, qualifying with a very good NEET 2021 score requires the best efforts. Effective preparation tips to crack NEET exam include some basic guidelines and a good strategy. Since it is the aim to crack NEET 2021 in the first attempt, some golden rules to follow are:
NEET exam 2021 strategy will also depend upon the following factors
- NEET exam Preparation at home or through coaching
- How to prepare for NEET 2021 without coaching
- Preparation for NEET along with class 12 board
- Online or offline preparation for NEET 2021
10 tips to crack NEET exam 2021
Tip 1: Peruse NEET Syllabus and Topics- The question paper will have questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at the class 12 level. To crack NEET 2021, it is vital to know the topics to cover.
Tip 2: Strategize with Do and Die Chapters for NEET: The past year question papers show questions asked from some topics while some topics are barely touched. These are mostly available online and also through a close look at the NEET question papers from past years.
Tip 3: Check NEET Exam Pattern - This will help candidates to know how the exam will be like and help in planning an exact NEET exam strategy.
Tip 4: Figure Out Best Books for NEET 2021: Students ask whether NCERT books are enough to crack NEET exam? Since they help in cementing the foundation, NCERT books are important to prepare for NEET 2021. However other books are also need for reference.
In addition some online resources for NEET Preparation are:

Tip 6: Tune in a Good NEET Revision Strategy: Just studying wont help. Revision of every chapter till one is thorough is a standard mantra for cracking NEET exam.
Tip 7: Timely Testing and Evaluation: While intense preparation is necessary, it will be fruitful only if it is backed up by proper evaluation. This requires timely testing and proper revision to plug the gaps and holes in the preparation for NEET exam 2021. One way of evaluation is the use of NEET Mock Tests and the NEET Previous Year Question Papers
Tip 8. Know from NEET Toppers: Well, NEET toppers from previous year are good sources of knowing the pressures of the exam preparation and how to succeed. Read their success mantras to know and tweak the NEET exam strategy.
Tip 9: Motivation and Determination: The path to success in NEET 2021 wont be easy but perseverance and determination are need along with strong motivation to keep going and taste the sweetness of success.
Tip 10: Common Mistakes to Avoid in NEET exam 2021: Well, these are common mistakes made by students and have to be avoided. Check these out and know how to avoid them.
A wise NEET 2021 Study Strategy incorporates all these points. In addition, the preparation strategy changes as the exam date comes closer. Hence it is also wise to tweak the NEET preparation along with the time available as given below

Check NEET Exam Analysis 2020 below
Pre NEET Student Reactions 2020
Prashant: I have not faced any issue reaching the exam centre. Because I was not prepared for the exam in May, therefore, the postponement has been a benefit for me and I'm sure for other students as well.
Siddharth: I was 10-15 minutes late due to traffic and the gate has been closed at 1:30 PM. I was very well prepared, however, the invigilators did not let me.
Hemant: My feelings are mutual towards the postponement of NEET due to the lockdown. Neither it proved to be beneficial for me, nor a loss. I'm best prepared in Biology.
Aditya: According to me, NEET should be further postponed, since Coronavirus is at its peak. I have tried to study through a coaching centre, however, the lockdown was implemented throughout the country.
NEET 2020 Post Exam Student Reactions
Most students agreed that a major chunk of the questions asked was NCERT based. The paper was found relatively easy as compared to NEET 2020 with Physics and Biology being found easier compared to Chemistry. The scoring could be higher on account of the easy paper with NEET cutoffs expected to go higher than the previous year.
Veer Shekhawat: This was my third attempt This year's question paper was easy as compared to last year and the question papers were simple. There was no out of syllabus question asked in the exam. The entry and exit process were maintained in a very appreciative manner. I expect 630-635 marks in the exam. I want to take admission to SMS College, Jaipur.
Akhil: This was my second attempt and I answered well in the NEET exam. The question paper was average in terms of difficulty level. Almost all topics and chapters were covered from the Physics section of the NEET question paper. Biology was entirely from NCERT.
Ayushi: This was my first attempt. Only the Physics section was difficult otherwise everything was quite good. I wish to join a government college which I will decide after the NEET result.
The analysis of any exam can be only given after the exam concludes. However, previous year exam analysis always helps understand what the trends may be like. NEET analysis is given here to enable students to gain insight from the experiences of those who have written the exam last year. The expert opinion has also been added as this adds to the weightage of what to expect, how best to prepare. The exam analysis for NEET 2021 will be updated here after the conclusion of the exam.

But the cut off varies every year so maybe you'll get the admission because cut off depends upon various numbers of factors such as the difficulty level of exams, no of candidates, etc. But the cut off for the reserved category is comparatively low than the cut off of unreserved category.
