Key findings · NEET 2017

1
57% of questions were easy, 3 points above the ten-year average of 54%.
2
About 37 questions (21%) needed a calculation, against 21% on average; Physics alone was 61% calculation.
3
Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants got the biggest boost: 6 questions against a usual 3.6, followed by Digestion and Absorption (3 vs 1.4).
4
Physics tilted to Class 11: 22 of 43 questions (Class 12 share the lowest in ten years).
5
3 chapters that usually carry a question had none: Biotechnology and its Applications, Alternating Current, Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry.

Questions from the official NEET UG papers published by NTA (CBSE before 2019). Topic and idea tags, difficulty and notes are Lumi’s.

Other papers

Every NEET paper, 2017 to 2026

NEET 2018 →

How is difficulty decided?

Each question is rated easy, medium or hard by how many steps and how much recall it needs. It is Lumi’s rating, not NTA’s, and it is the same scale for every year.

What is a “new idea”?

Inside each topic we tag the exact idea a question tests. A new idea is one that no earlier paper in our data had tested. The first year, 2017, has nothing to compare with.

Does this tell me what will come next year?

No. It shows weightage and patterns from past papers. Chapters and topics repeat; exact questions rarely do.
