NEET is a national eligibilty cum entrance test conducted every year for the admission to medical colleges. The syllabus for exam is categorized into three main subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. The NEET exam is of 3 hours and contain 180 questions each of 4 marks. Biology is the most scoring subject among all three. Students who prepare smartly and focus on main chapters of biology and practice mcq on biology books can score good marks. 

In biology, students study various life processes and learn how different organisms meet the challenges of living in their environment. Major biological concepts for student focus include the relationship between structure and function and change over time. Also, students’ experience in biology supports their developing environmental literacy.
