According to Keshav Agarwal, the NEET UG difficulty level analysis for all subjects is as follows.

  • NEET Physics: Paper was tough as compared to last year. He said: "I doubt there will be a 720 score for more than one or two students. In Physics even some JEE advanced level questions were asked."
  • NEET chemistry: Questions from inorganic increased, but from NCERT. He adds: "Numericals were tough and not directly formula-based, and were above NCERT level, and even organic was above NCERT level."
  • NEET Biology: Biology questions were from the NCERT book, and were not difficult for those who had mastered the NCERT, but one maths question on probability stumped students, he said.

NEET 2025 paper level; review by Allen Career Institute director

According to the Allen Career Institute director, Brajesh Maheshwari, the NEET UG paper was tougher than the previous year. As per students' feedback physics paper was of a high standard, which can be called tough. Apart from this, the Chemistry paper was lengthy, in which questions of multiple correct orders were included in the paper. This year, students were also seen getting confused. He adds: "Along with this, the Botany and Zoology paper was also lengthy. In such a situation, it took more time to solve the paper. Due to the implementation of the pre-Covid pattern in the exam and the level of the paper being difficult, it can be said that scoring very high will be difficult for the students as compared to previous years."

May 4, 2025 | 06:39 PM IST

NEET 2025 paper solution

As per the student's reaction, the question paper difficulty level is as follows.
