Explore MoreNEET Physics has 45 questions (attempt any 45 out of 50 total) for a maximum of 180 marks. Physics is the most calculation-heavy section of NEET. Unlike Biology which is primarily fact-based and Chemistry which balances facts and numericals, Physics demands strong conceptual understanding combined with numerical problem-solving speed. This is why students who crack NEET Physics with 140+ marks almost always end up in top ranks.
Class 11 Physics contributes approximately 18–20 questions and Class 12 contributes approximately 25–27 questions. Both halves are important — do not neglect Class 11 Mechanics, Thermodynamics, or Waves even if they feel harder. Many students drop 15–20 marks just by skipping Class 11 chapters.

Phase 1 — Concept Building (First 4 months): Read NCERT Physics thoroughly — understand every concept, not just formulas. After each unit, immediately solve HC Verma examples and exercises for that unit. Never skip NCERT in-text examples and back exercises — NEET often tests the exact type of problems from NCERT examples.
Phase 2 — PYQ Practice (Next 2 months): Solve 10 years of chapter-wise PYQs using the Explore More links in the unit cards above. Focus on the top 6 high-yield units first — Electrostatics, Optics, Modern Physics, Current Electricity, Electronic Devices, and Thermodynamics. These units together contribute 18–22 out of 45 Physics questions every year. After finishing all PYQs, identify weak chapters and revise them specifically.
Phase 3 — Mock Tests + Revision (Final 2 months): Take full-length NEET mock tests every week. Analyse your Physics chapter-wise performance after each mock. Spend extra time on high-yield weak units. Keep a daily formula revision sheet covering all important Physics formulas — read it every morning before studying.
