With NEET UG 2025 scheduled for May 4, aspirants across the country have intensified their preparation to achieve a target score of 650+. Experts emphasize that success in NEET demands a disciplined routine, strong conceptual clarity, and a consistent practice strategy across all three subjects—Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. According to Nikhil Sachan, Director of Careerkick Services, scoring above 650 in NEET requires more than rote memorization. “Students must focus on understanding NCERT deeply, practicing past papers, and revising strategically in the final weeks,” he stated.
NEET 2025: Subject-Wise Preparation Strategy
Biology: The Game-Changer
Biology carries 50% of NEET’s total marks, making it the most crucial section. NCERT textbooks for Botany and Zoology form the backbone of preparation. Most questions are either directly or indirectly derived from NCERT lines.
- Prioritise high-weightage chapters such as Genetics, Human Physiology, Ecology, and Plant Physiology.
- Prepare concise self-notes and use diagrams for visual memory.
- Focus on conceptual understanding rather than rote learning.
- Revise regularly and practice MCQs from topic-based question banks.
Regular revision enhances retention and accuracy during the exam, helping aspirants secure at least 340–360 marks in Biology alone.
Chemistry: Balancing Theory and Application
Chemistry requires a balance between theoretical understanding and numerical accuracy. Experts suggest dividing study hours between Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry.
- Study Inorganic Chemistry directly from NCERT, as most questions are factual.
- Strengthen Organic Chemistry by mastering reaction mechanisms, functional groups, and named reactions.
- For Physical Chemistry, practice numerical problems daily and revise formulas regularly.
- Maintain short formula sheets for quick revision before mock tests.
This structured approach can help aspirants aim for 160–170 marks in Chemistry.
Physics: The Most Challenging Yet Scorable
Physics often poses the biggest challenge for NEET aspirants, but consistent practice can make it one of the most rewarding sections.
- Focus on fundamental topics such as Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetic Induction, and Optics.
- Understand the derivation and real-life application of formulas instead of memorising them blindly.
- Solve numerical problems daily to build speed and accuracy.
- Attempt previous years’ papers and topic-wise mock tests to gauge progress.
Practicing at least 50–60 numerical problems daily can substantially improve confidence and time management.
Building Momentum: Practice and Revision
Experts highlight that solving past 10 years’ NEET papers helps identify recurring question trends and strengthens conceptual clarity. Consistent mock tests not only refine exam temperament but also improve problem-solving speed. Aspirants are advised to:
- Attempt one full-length mock test weekly in the final months.
- Analyze mistakes immediately after each test.
- Adjust study plans based on weak areas.
Maintaining a study timetable with daily and weekly goals ensures uniform coverage of all topics. Equally important are short breaks, a healthy sleep cycle, and a positive mindset throughout preparation.
