With the change in exam pattern in NEET, have the Botany and Zoology sections been combined to form one 'biology' section of 90 questions? Or are they still separate?

According to the latest NEET exam pattern , the Botany and Zoology sections are still separate within the Biology section, but combined to form a total of 90 questions in the Biology section, with 45 questions each from Botany and Zoology. l

Although considered one "Biology" section, the NEET exam still presents questions distinctly categorized as Botany and Zoology.

Both Botany and Zoology usually have an equal number of questions (45 each) within the Biology section.

The current NEET exam pattern maintains this structure with separate Botany and Zoology sections within the Biology subject.

Hello there,

No, the Botany and Zoology sections are still separate in NEET. The Biology section consists of 90 questions in total , but it is divided into two parts:

  1. Botany – 45 questions
  2. Zoology – 45 questions

Each subject has Section A (35 questions) and Section B (15 questions, out of which 10 must be answered) . So, even though both subjects come under Biology , they remain distinct in the exam pattern.


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 wishing you all the best for your bright future.
