How To Prepare For Biology In NEET

Understand The Subject

Compared to physics and chemistry, biology is somewhat easier and the questions never go beyond the NCERT textbooks. According to the sources, 53% and 47% of weightage are given to the class 12 and class 11, respectively. Zoology and botany are the two sections under biology, and both are equally important for the NEET examination.

Zoology

This is one of the interesting and scoring subjects in biology. A total of 45 questions will come from zoology. This subject deals with the study of animal kingdom, embryology, evolution and classification of animals. Never ignore the concepts such as human reproduction, physiology, health and diseases. However, devote time for the evolution and animal husbandry concepts also.

Botany

It deals with the science of plant life. Botany also contains 45 questions in the exam. Students should give importance to the concepts of modern botany such as biochemistry, reproduction, plant taxonomy and metabolism. They should also focus on the concepts that carry high weightage in the exams such as biotechnology, ecology and genetics. One can expect direct questions on plant diversity and biology in human welfare, so never neglect these topics.
