EXPERT SPEAKS

Dr Arvind Goyal city based AIIMS Entrance Exam Trainer advising the students said, “In the last hours, it is important that the students should not loose their nerves. Try to revise difficult points from Biology NCERT as students ignore this subject.”

He added, “Few questions should be ‘marked for review’ as in the end it causes confusion and no marks are given if they are not answered. Try to crack the question during the first attempt. Do not try to do so if you are not sure as 1/3rd negative marking affect your final score.”

STUDENTS SPEAK

Sushobhit Garg, an AIIMS aspirant said, “Panic ends with the National Eligibility cum Entrance Exam (NEET). AIIMS exam is more of a revision with extra emphasis on reasoning and current affairs, which cannot be covered through a single book for revision or practice.”

Another medical aspirant Gurasis Singh Sodhi said, “I am spending equal amount of time on each of the three subjects along with extra one hour on current affairs and reasoning questions.”

DONT’s

Do not panic if you encounter difficult questions in starting of the exam

Do not carry any of the items which are not allowed as per prospectus and advisory, eg ornaments, big-buttoned dress, thick-soled shoes, watch etc

Do not leave questions marked as review. Marks for same will not be given.

HOW IS AIIMS EXAM DIFFERENT FROM NEET

AIIMS is a computer based test, NEET a pen and paper test.

AIIMS has 200 questions in 3.5 hours; NEET has 180 questions in 3 hours AIIMS has 60 questions each from biology, physics and chemistry and additional 10 questions of GK and 10 of aptitude and reasoning.

NEET has 90 questions from biology; 45 questions each from physics and chemistry, no GK or mental ability section.

AIIMS has 20 question each out of the 60 questions in each subject, ie biology, physics and chemistry, which are of assertion-reason type. No such pattern in NEET.

1/3rd negative marking in AIIMS, in NEET, it is 1/4th. I

n AIIMS exam, there is no display of responses marked, no display of answer key, no provision to challenge the answer key. All these provisions are in NEET.
