NEET Exam Strategy for Biology
NCERT is Key – Read NCERT line by line and highlight important terms.
Conceptual Clarity – Understand diagrams, processes, and functions.
Previous Year Questions (PYQs) – Solve last 10 years’ NEET questions.
Mock Tests & Flashcards – Regular practice improves speed and accuracy.
Mnemonics & Short Notes – Helps in quick revision before the exam.
Do you need topic-wise important questions, revision notes, or a study plan for NEET?

Tips for NEET/AIIMS/JIPMER Biology Prep:
-
Focus on NCERT line by line – most NEET questions are directly based on it.
-
Make concept maps for chapters like Plant Physiology and Cell Biology.
-
Practice diagrams regularly (structure of nephron, heart, brain, plant tissues, etc.).
-
Revise regularly using chapter-wise MCQs.
-
Use previous year papers from NEET, AIIMS, and JIPMER for practice.
