Hello


Yes, VJNT is a state level reservation in the state of Maharashtra .  And it's completely fine if you have chosen general as your category in NEET application form  as NEET is a National level entrance examination and during form filling you take don't get option like VJNT  or  any other state  reservation category .

While  participating in Maharashtra state counselling , you can definitely choose VJNT as your category and avail reservation as it will be available there because  in state counselling ,there are categories as per  that state reservation system.

To help you further,

Here's a brief a neet 2021 exam pattern  as it has changed a little bit.

* Neet examination will be conducted for a total of 720 marks.

*Question will be from 4 subjects

  • physics,

  • chemistry,

  • zooloy

  • botany

*There will be 50 questions ( 35 + 15 ) in each subject . So, there will be a total of 200 questions ( 50 question x 4 = 200 questions).


  • Section A :-  it contains 35 mcqs

  • Section B :- it contains 15 mcqs out of which any 10 mcqs is to be attempted

So, in each subject you have to attempt only 45 questions.

*Total number of question to be attempted

= 45 mcqs per subject x 4 subject

= 180 questions can be attempted.

* Duration of examination is 3 hours.

Marking scheme:-

* 4 marks will be awarded to you for every correct answer

* there is negative marking of one mark for every wrong answer

*No mark is deducted for unanswered questions
