Physics Weightage For NEET 2022

The physics section is termed as a daunting section of NEET exams over the years by candidates
as it involves conceptual clarity and a solid understanding of physics concepts to apply the
acquired knowledge on numerical-based questions. This section is often termed tricky and long
as it involves calculations and reasoning. But, when you prioritize topics based on their
importance analyzed from previous trends, Physics just becomes a cakewalk on exam day. To
assist you in the same endeavour, we have brought to you the Chapter-wise weightage of NEET
Physics.
