NEET UG 2025: One of the most important decisions for students hoping to pass the National Eligibility and Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) is selecting the appropriate subjects in Class 11. This choice establishes the groundwork for a two-year intensive study period, and a strong comprehension of the material can greatly improve exam performance.

Basic Subjects: Biology, chemistry and physics

The three subjects that NEET UG largely evaluates knowledge on are biology, chemistry, and physics. Prospective medical students must choose these as their core studies in Class 11. There is no discussion about it.

– Many people believe that physics is the most difficult subject in NEET UG since it calls for a solid conceptual understanding and problem-solving abilities. By choosing physics as a core subject, students will have the opportunity to gain a profound understanding of mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and other vital topics.

– Three divisions exist in chemistry – physical, inorganic and organic. Class 11 introduces foundational ideas that continue throughout Class 12 and comprise a key component of the NEET chemistry course. To do well in this section, you need to have a solid understanding of the material.

– Half of the NEET UG question paper is dedicated to biology. Important chapters include diversity in the living world, structural organisation in animals and plants, and cell biology which are taught in Class 11. Building a solid foundation in Class 11 is crucial since these concepts recur in sophisticated forms in Class 12.

The importance of proper subject selection

Selecting these topics in advance facilitates preparation. Due to the concept-heavy nature of NEET UG, students who do not fully grasp the information covered in Class 11 will find it difficult to complete Class 12 syllabus and do the revision. The most important subject – biology, requires consistent practice and well-defined concepts, both of which take time to acquire.
