Physics was tough, while chemistry and biology sections were relatively straightforward. This was the general opinion among students who appeared for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) on Sunday afternoon and experts analysing the papers.

Karnataka saw 1,09,570 students register for NEET.

Milind Chippalakatti, head of academics, Deeksha Centre, said: “Chemistry and biology papers were relatively straightforward. However, in physics many questions were tricky, calculation and multi concept based. All the questions were primarily from NCERT books. Overall, it was a student-friendly paper.”

“There was also a change in pattern. For biology, botany and zoology, questions were given in different sections, physics had a section-B with optional questions added and which was a little tougher. Chemistry had a section-B with optional questions added. The standards being set were certainly higher compared to last year,” he added.

“The paper was not as easy as it was in 2020. In physics, the questions are usually formula based or concept-based. But this time, multiple concepts were included in the same questions. In nearly 6-10 questions, multiple concepts were involved, making it slightly difficult for students,” said NM Habeeb, NEET wing head of Narayana Group (India).

Many students said the exam went without any glitches. Based on reports received from about 60% of the testing centres, NTA said attendance was above 94%.
