According to her, many questions were straightforward and could be solved using the elimination method, which worked in students’ favour. The Chemistry section also included a few fill-in-the-blank questions. Overall, she described the paper as moderate in difficulty.
She added that students were initially anxious upon being informed that the number of sheets in the answer booklet would be increased.
“I just hope there are no further leaks,” she also said.
How did the NEET cancellation impact preparations?
Nibha said the cancellation created several challenges, as most students believed they were done with the exam. However, she viewed it as an opportunity to reassess her performance, especially since it was her first attempt. “I focused more on Physics, while Biology has always been my strong area. I believe I will score better this time,” she said.
She shared feeling “sad and depressed” after the cancellation but added that she used the extra month to prepare more effectively.
On changes in NEET exams after the paper leak
Nibha expressed concern over the changes being introduced, noting that students are not yet accustomed to them. She mentioned discussions around conducting the exam online, saying students are unsure whether navigating questions digitally will be as convenient as using physical papers.
She also questioned whether computer-based exams would be entirely leak-proof and said students remain apprehensive about such large-scale changes.
