NEET 2020:

Admit card: With just a day left for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2020 admit card to be released, there is no clarity on whether the medical entrance exam will be postponed or not. The exam is scheduled to be held on May 3. While authorities hope that coronavirus pandemic would be under control by then, however, there is no certainty.

A list of important topics, and strategies to look at while preparing for NEET 2020:

Vishnu Dutt Sharma, CEO, Vidyamandir Classes, said, “To ace NEET, it is important to give the right amount of time to the topics based on the weightage assigned to them. This is where carefully crafted study material comes in. One should follow the right kind of study material.” 

He also added a list of topics he thinks were important for the exam
  • Thermodynamics
  • Optics
  • Modern Physics
  • Chemical bonding
  • P Block elements
  • Alcohol, Ether, Phenol
  • Equilibrium
  • Cell
  • Animal Physiology
  • Morphology
  • Anatomy
  • Genetics
  • Molecular inheritance
Amid lockdown when even the coaching institutes, schools, and every educational institute is closed, students should rely on the mock test. Sharma also said, “Students are advised to practice mock series during the last months. One should try to appear for a mock as per the time of the real exam, so their body clock is also tuned-in for the NEET. However, practicing mocks alone is not enough, one should analyze their answers, where they have gone wrong, what are their shortcoming is its lack of conceptual clarity or focus of time management and then work on it.”
