NEET-2022: Exam Analysis

Exam takers said the NEET 2022 paper was more challenging than last year. The questions were from the syllabus. Analysis, as per a candidate, said that the Chemistry section was time-consuming with many questions from Organic Chemistry. As an aspirant who appeared for the NEET 2022 exam today, informed that the Biology questions in the NEET question paper were good. The exam was theory-based, and the extra 20 mins provided in the exam this year was a significant advantage.

Physics Section Analysis

The Physics section was easy to moderate.
Overall, section A was easy, whereas section B was lengthy, and many questions were based on problem-solving.
This year, questions from a chapter like current electricity, atoms and nuclei and electronic devices are essential.

Chemistry Section Analysis

The Chemistry section was moderate to difficult.
Some questions were too lengthy and confusing.
Physical chemistry had comparatively lesser weightage than inorganic and organic chemistry. Maximum questions were from organic chemistry, followed by inorganic chemistry.
Total questions in chemistry were 50, out of which 10 to 15 questions were moderate to difficult. Otherwise, the rest of the questions were easy to moderate.
Almost 3-5 questions were tricky and mostly from section B.
Thus, an average student could have answered at least 40 questions correctly.
Questions were relatively straightforward with fewer calculations. Hence, the students had time to revise and recheck the answers.

Biology Section Analysis

The Biology section was easy but slightly time-consuming.
A lot of questions were picked from last year's papers.
The biology section included a mixed bag of MCQ questions in the form of assertion-reasoning, matching the following, choosing the correct statements, and numerical.
Questions were spread over the entire syllabus of NEET.
A tricky question was based on the concept of modes of excretion –

Nitrogenous waste is excreted in the form of a pellet or pastes by:

a) Salamandra

b) Hippocampus

c) Pavo

d) Orinithorlynchus

Here, the correct answer is option c – Pavo, which is a peacock. Here scientific names of organisms make the question confusing.

Most of the paper was based on NCERT. Whoever subscribed to Topper Learning would benefit from the detailed concept videos, topic notes, previous year papers, MCQs, and tests provided for every chapter.
