Biology is half the paper

Botany and Zoology together carry 360 of the 720 marks — as much as Physics and Chemistry combined. A student strong in Physics but casual about Biology has capped their own rank before the exam starts.

Coaching for NEET at Zigyan

NEET is taught in the Class XI and Class XII programmes alongside JEE, because at Class XI level the Physics and Chemistry syllabi are nearly identical and only the third subject differs — Mathematics for JEE, Biology for NEET. Many students keep both open for a year and commit in Class XII on the evidence of their test data.

Our first NEET cohort is still studying, so there are no NEET results to show yet. When there are, they will be published the same way the JEE results are: named students, ranks you can check.

Common questions

NEET, answered

Is NEET conducted online or offline?
Offline, on paper, with an OMR sheet — unlike JEE Main and BITSAT, which are computer-based. That difference is worth practising for: filling an OMR under time pressure is its own skill.
How many marks is Biology worth?
360 of 720 — Botany and Zoology together carry as much as Physics and Chemistry combined. A student strong in Physics but casual about Biology has capped their rank before the exam starts.
Does Zigyan have NEET results?
Not yet. Our first NEET cohort is still studying. We coach NEET in the Class XI and XII programmes and will publish those results the same way we publish the JEE ones — named students, checkable ranks — when they exist.
