HELLO,
Yes , the NEST exam is generally considered tougher than NEET as it requires more focus towards conceptual understanding and thinking , while NEET generally tests NCERT based knowledge where as in NEST it requires you to have deeper clarity in Physics , Chemistry , Biology and Mathematics.
NEET can be difficult due to competition , large number of applicants and candidates. But generally the NEST exam is considered more tough than NEET.
Hope this will help you!
Hello,
NEST and NEET are difficult in different ways.
NEST
is harder in terms of question level.
It asks concept-based and tricky questions.
Strong thinking and problem-solving skills are needed.
NEET
is harder because of its large syllabus and very high competition.
Questions are mostly direct, but speed and accuracy matter a lot.
In short, NEST has tougher concepts, while NEET is harder to crack due to competition.
Hope it helps !
