With the NEET 2022 date approaching close, aspirants are entering the last phase of preparation.

After realising that NEET 2022 can be one of the toughest medical entrance exams in the country, a 20 minutes additional window has been added to the total exam time. Earlier, a 180 minutes time frame was provided to complete the paper. In addition, Section A now consists of 20 MCQ questions with choices.
Experts also suggest that students should only practice from the mock test papers that are in line with the NEET 2022 Exam Pattern. To help students better, a detailed 200 minutes paper for all the three subjects divided into Section A and Section B has been provided for the first time.
