Over one lakh candidates from the State would be appearing for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) on Sunday.
NEET is the qualifying exam for admission to medical courses in the country and will assess students on four subjects– Physics, Chemistry, Zoology and Botany. It will be held for 720 marks: 180 marks for each subject, and comprises two sections— Section A for 140 marks and Section B for 40 marks. This year, the School Education Department conducted specialised coaching through residential programmes, selectively. Students who had performed well in public exams were chosen for this dedicated coaching in a residential centre. But some residential centres were shut down after students contracted COVID-19.
