NEET 2026 Question Paper Analysis: After NEET 2026 exam concluded today, May 3 , initial student reactions suggest that the overall difficulty level was Moderate. Compared to last year, the paper was easier. Questions from Class 12th syllabus were more compared to Class 11th. A majority of candidates identified Physics as the most challenging section due to its calculative nature, while Chemistry included a balanced mix of direct theoretical questions and application-based problems. Biology (Botany & Zoology) remained the most scoring subject for most aspirants; however, a high frequency of long statement-based and "Assertion-Reason" questions made the NEET 2026 exam more time-consuming than in previous years. Our CollegeDekho team is currently gathering more feedback from exam centers and will soon provide a detailed subject-wise analysis and expected cutoff trends.
