National Eligibility cum Entrance Test
Hello Apurva,
If you have received marks only in Biology and belong to the SC category , the NEET exam evaluates your overall performance, which includes marks from all three subjects: Physics , Chemistry , and Biology . It is not possible to pass the exam with marks in only one subject.
Regarding your question about the minimum marks required to qualify for NEET as an SC category candidate, it varies each year depending on the difficulty level of the exam and the number of candidates appearing . However, on average, candidates from the SC category generally need around 120-150 marks out of 720 in the NEET exam to be considered for qualifying.
The cut-off marks for SC candidates may fluctuate yearly, but you should aim for a score higher than the general trend to secure a seat in government medical colleges. Always check the official updates for the exact cut-off after the exam.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
Hi apurva
As 300 marks is qualifying marks for neet ug and the bio portion and if you score 360 marks in bioportion you can qualify but it is not good for admission in redeemed institutes. But as sc caste you can try your luck in state college if seats are not filled.
Thanks

Hello there,
To complete 4 chapters per day for NEET preparation, you’ll need a disciplined and efficient study strategy. Here's how you can approach it: 1. Set Clear Goals
Identify the chapters : Choose 4 chapters from the syllabus that you need to cover. Make sure to pick a mix of easier and more challenging topics so you can stay motivated.
Break down chapters : Divide each chapter into smaller sections, like concepts, formulas, and examples. 2. Create a Time Table
Time blocks : Allocate around 2.5 to 3 hours per chapter, depending on the difficulty level. For example, study one chapter for 2.5 hours in the morning, one after a break, and then continue after lunch.
Break it up : Take 10-15 minute breaks after every 45-50 minutes of study to keep yourself refreshed. 3. Focus on NCERT First
Start with NCERT : Always focus on the NCERT textbooks first for conceptual clarity. You can refer to reference books only if necessary. 4. Active Recall and Practice
Understand, don’t just memorize : For every chapter, focus on understanding the concepts. Use active recall techniques where you try to recall the key points without looking at your notes.
Practice problems : After each chapter, solve related problems and previous years' NEET questions to reinforce what you’ve learned. 5. Review at the End of the Day
Revision time : In the evening, take 30-45 minutes to quickly review the chapters you covered. It helps retain the information better. 6. Stay Consistent
Stick to this plan every day. Consistency is key to finishing 4 chapters daily. Gradually, as you get more efficient, you’ll be able to finish more. 7. Use Speed Reading for Theory
For theory-heavy chapters, try speed reading techniques to quickly cover the concepts. You don’t need to memorize everything in the first pass but focus on understanding the important aspects. 8. Stay Healthy
Keep yourself hydrated and take short breaks to relax your mind. A well-rested mind is more effective in retaining information.
With focus and consistency, finishing 4 chapters a day becomes manageable. Just ensure to balance quality with quantity to maximize your retention.
