Chennai:6.5.2019

After three years of intense political wrangling over the National Eligibilitycum-Entrance Test, the state seems to have come to terms with the reality of the medical admissions test as most students exuded confidence about putting up a better show than the last two years.

Of the 1.34 lakh candidates registered in Tamil Nadu, 88% turned up for the test at various centres across the state on Sunday.

There was also consensus among candidates and teachers about the examination being relatively easier compared to the previous years.

Experts said though the nature of question paper wasn’t drastically different from the previous years, candidates’ familiarity with both the examination day drill and the nature of questions made them feel NEET UG – 2019 to be lot more easier.

“This year many questions were asked from NCERT books. So, if the students had prepared with NCERT books they could have scored well. Unfortunately, the awareness was not there earlier,” said Dr Prasad Manne, secretary, Kilpauk Medical College Alumni Association. The association conducted free NEET coaching for government students.

Candidates said the test was not as tricky as they were expecting it to be. “Among the three subjects, biology was easier, chemistry was moderate and only physics was challenging,” a candidate who took the test at Yadava College in Madurai said. B Derry Chris, another candidate, said that he was surprised to see many straight questions. “In biology, especially, there were many easy questions,” he added.
