Every year, lakhs of students dream of becoming doctors and appear for the NEET exam. If you are preparing for NEET 2026, the competition will be tough, but with the right preparation strategy, smart planning, and proper guidance, you can achieve your dream.
We will share a complete step-by-step guide on how to prepare for NEET 2026 effectively.
Understanding NEET 2026 Exam Pattern
Before starting preparation, you must know the exam pattern.
- Mode of exam – Offline (pen and paper-based)
- Subjects – Physics, Chemistry, Biology (PCB)
- Total questions – 200 (180 to be attempted)
- Total marks – 720
- Duration – 3 hours 20 minutes
Biology has the highest weightage (50% of total marks), followed by Chemistry and Physics.
Build a Strong Foundation with NCERT
For NEET 2026, NCERT books (Class 11 & 12) are the most important. Almost 70–75% of the questions come directly from NCERT.
- Read every line of NCERT Biology carefully.
- Highlight important definitions, diagrams, and examples.
- Solve NCERT questions at the end of every chapter.
Make a Realistic Study Plan
A proper timetable is the backbone of your preparation.
- Study at least 6–8 hours daily in Class 11.
- Increase it to 10–12 hours daily in Class 12 and during revision.
- Divide time between Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
- Keep small breaks to avoid burnout.
Remember, consistency is more important than long hours.
Subject-Wise Preparation Tips
Biology (360 Marks)

A golden rule – revise every topic at least 3–4 times before the final exam.
Time Management During Exam
NEET is not only about knowledge, but also about time management.
- Attempt Biology first, then Chemistry, and finally Physics.
- Do not waste too much time on one question.
- Mark doubtful questions and revisit later if time permits.
- Keep the last 15 minutes for review.
Stay Healthy & Motivated
Preparing for NEET is a long journey of 2 years, so your mental and physical health is important.
