This is heartly acceptable step and will become a wonderful platform for correct assessment of the students. Within biology, the part of Zoology should be given a bit importance while framing the paper. The paper should be in objective pattern. This NEET will bring radical changes with medical education
sir ,its a very good decision to have a common entrance test but what about the people who are preparing for the exam in their regional languages and the pupil who have to face state board exams and medical entrance test with different syllabuses so i hope it would be kind if you once again think of it before declaring
I feel the old times were better because students had to take pains and go through several external sources. Also, knowledge about current affairs is not required for NEET UG, so bookworms can have their way.
Some very important basics in biochemistry have been left out, specifically drug chemistry, its effects and uses while unnecessary topics that were covered in our lower forms have been included. The portion is highly condensed and is tailored only for students of CBSE to get through with no extra effort. Perhaps the syllabus should be reconsidered, giving space to students of other syllabi
Yet, thumbs up for national integrity ( from the exam point of view)…
Neet start at list after two years.and a commen syllabus all over india in english mid.not for this year.we are human not a mashein that we should finish new syllabus in 6-7 months.
i’m in i.s.c board….. some of the course of bio is very dissimilar to that of i.s.c. plz add human morphology instead of any other animal’s morphology……….
medical concile of india done well……….i know about seats no. and top ten colleges
there should be less weightage for physics and chemistry
and biology should have more weightage .
I THINK ITS A BRILLIANT DECISION . STATE BOARD BOOKS ARE BELOW STANDARD & THEY SHOULD BE CHANGED. ITS GONNA VE A TOUGH TASK FOR THE STUDENTS THAT ARE NOT FROM CBSE BOARD.
BUT I AM QUITE PLEASED
Why dont they are thinking of other boards students????
I am from West Bengal board, and for 12 years I read in Bengali language. Now they are saying we have to answer the exam in English…
We also dont have enough time to prepare for exam…as it is knocking on the door…this is totaly unfair…
My Honorable sir,
The exam make our knowledge expand.but the fact is that ,the cut of marks is very high .so ,my humble request is to decrease the cut of marks.I think the Indian Govt.must be mercy with us in collaborate with you. Thank you
