NEET Exam Questions Breakdown:
How Many, What Types, and Why They Count
Getting ready for NEET can feel like solving a puzzle with too many pieces. One question that confuses many students is: How many questions exactly, and what’s the split? For NEET 2026, the exam keeps its standard format: 180 compulsory multiple-choice questions worth 720 marks, testing your understanding of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology from the Class 11-12 NCERT syllabus. No optional questions since 2021, just straight challenges in 3 hours, 45 in Physics and Chemistry each, 90 in Biology (split evenly between Botany and Zoology). This setup rewards quick thinking and accuracy, with +4 for right answers and -1 for wrongs.
At VVT Coaching Centre in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Times Now’s #1 NEET institute, we break this down in our weekly mocks, helping over 1000+ students master the pattern for a 96.6% success rate in placements. Our centres in Adyar (with hostels), Anna Nagar, Pallikaranai (girls-only residential), and Mogappair make practice feel real. This easy guide explains the question count, types, marking, and tips to tackle them solving the “what’s coming?” worry so you prepare smarter.
NEET Questions: Subject-by-Subject Breakdown
NEET 180 questions aren’t random, they’re balanced to test core skills. Biology dominates at half the paper, reflecting its double marks, while Physics and Chemistry demand precision. In 2025, the exam leaned heavier on case-based and assertion-reason types (20-25% each), up from previous years, per NTA trends. No changes announced for 2026 yet, so expect the same.
Here’s the full 2026 breakdown—total and per section.
| Section | Number of Questions | Marks (Per Question) | Total Section Marks | Key Question Types (2025 Trends) |
| Physics | 45 | +4 correct, -1 wrong | 180 | 15-20 MCQs, 10-15 numerical, 5-10 assertion-reason; focus on mechanics (25%) |
| Chemistry | 45 | +4 correct, -1 wrong | 180 | 20 MCQs organic/inorganic, 15 physical, 10 case-based; reactions heavy (30%) |
| Biology | 90 (45 Botany + 45 Zoology) | +4 correct, -1 wrong | 360 | 40 MCQs facts, 30 diagrams, 20 application; human physiology tops (20%) |
| Total | 180 | – | 720 | All compulsory; 3 hours duration |
This setup solves “how to divide time?”- spend 45 mins Physics/Chemistry, 90 mins Biology. VVT’s weekly tests mirror it, with AI reports showing your balance.
Beyond the Numbers: Types of Questions and Marking Breakdown
NEET’s questions aren’t all the same—2025 saw 40% standard MCQs, 25% assertion-reason (match statement/reason), 20% case-based (scenario analysis), and 15% numerical (direct calc). Biology loves diagrams (20 questions), Physics numericals (15), Chemistry reactions (25). Marking stays +4/-1, no zero for unattempted, encouraging educated guesses.
Why care? Understanding types cuts surprises. VVT error exams (every 4-5 weeks) categorize your misses by type, so you practice what NEET focuses on most like case-based Biology that stumped 30% in 2025.
Quick marking math: 150 correct = 600 marks (safe for government seats); 30 wrong = -30 penalty. VVT’s remedy classes practice this, turning penalties into positives.
Why This Breakdown Changes Your Preparation
Knowing the question count isn’t extra information, it’s a smart strategy.With 180 in 180 minutes, it’s 1 per minute—time management wins games. Biology’s 90 questions tempt overkill, but balance is key. In 2025, toppers (680+ marks) scored well 80% Biology, 70% others by focusing on high-yield genetics (15% Bio).
VVT integrates this: Our grand tests simulate the split, with AI analysis breaking down your performance ,chapter-wise for Physics (e.g., electrostatics 10 questions), concept-wise for Chemistry. At Adyar or Pallikaranai, small batches let you tweak based on results, solving “uneven preparation” issues.
