NTA NEET UG 2022:  This year, the NTA is yet to release the exam date, however, it is expected that it will be conducted soon after the CBSE and ISC board exams. Many students will be appearing for the board exam and NEET UG simultaneously. Both the exams are stepping stones and candidates need to score good marks in the board exams as well as get a good rank in the NEET UG entrance exam 2022. Balancing between the board and NEET 2022 exam preparations is not an easy task. 

Candidates must know how to manage their preparation for both exams. Therefore, here we have provided preparation tips for NEET-UG along with class 12th board exams below. The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) for admission to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, BVSc, and AH degree programmes. 

Prepare for NEET UG along with Board Exams 

With a limited number of seats and fierce competition, it becomes essential for candidates to come up with the best NEET preparation strategy for NEET 2022. However, board exams are no less important. Therefore, it is necessary for the candidates preparing for both NEET and class 12 board examinations to know how to prepare efficiently for both exams. Go through the points to know how to prepare for NEET 2022 along with the class 12 board exam here – 

Know What To Study and Where To Focus 

Getting admission into a medical course is not easy, hence, candidates appearing for this medical entrances test must focus on NEET preparation. However, they must have also secured the prescribed marks in class 12th to be eligible for admission in medical college. So, the focus must also be on class 12 boards. The candidates must ensure that they have a thorough understanding of the basics of both the exam, a method that will help in preparation for NEET as well as the Board exam. It is recommended that students should start their preparation soon. 

Managing Syllabus of NEET and Board Exam 

The syllabus of Class 12 boards and NEET examination is the same for the core subjects, that is, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. However, the NEET syllabus comprises both the class 11 and 12 NCERT curriculum while that of the board exam includes only the part being studied in class 12. Students should start preparing in advance, i.e. from Class 11 onwards for NEET and while preparing for the board, they are ultimately preparing the class 12th syllabus for NEET. 

NCERT Books for Class 12th Board Exams and NEET 

To balance class 12th and NEET preparation, candidates must go through the NCERT books. These books will help candidates with the class 12 board along with NEET preparation. Having the same study material will save both time and effort. Many experts and toppers also suggest the same. NEET aspirants, however, are also required to have a proper understanding of the class 11th NCERT and can also refer to best books for NEET. 

Prepare Study Plan 

Those willing to balance board and NEET preparations will need to prepare a study schedule that includes time for regular classes and self-study. Candidates also need to put in effort in terms of studying for both exams. Prepare two timetables, one that focuses on class 12th boards and the other on NEET preparation. They can switch between the two according to the upcoming important event. 

Practice for Self-Analysis 

To prepare for class 12th board exams and NEET 2022, students can solve the previous year’s question papers. For class 12th, theory-based papers uploaded by CBSE is available, along with sample papers whereas for NEET they can solve previous year’s papers. So, every day, they can solve one theory paper and one MCQ-based paper. With this, they will also get to know about their preparation level for both examinations.
