Difficulty:
The difficulty level of NEET 2017 was moderate. Physics which is always perceived to be difficult in the NEET was of moderate difficulty, with a lot of questions being calculation intensive. Compared to last year it was slightly tougher and lengthier. Chemistry was again moderate in difficulty level. Most questions were conceptual and application based. Biology was moderately difficult and was no different from the last year. Again here, most questions were conceptual, so the one with strong conceptual base would definitely find it solvable.
