Counts come from the official papers by chapter. Chapters with no question in either paper are left out; questions on chapters removed from the syllabus in 2024 are not counted. For every paper on the site, see NEET chapter-wise weightage.

Questions

Was the Re-NEET 2026 pattern the same as NEET 2026?

Yes in shape: 180 questions each, Physics 45, Chemistry 45, Biology 90. The mix differed: 29 match-the-columns questions in NEET 2026 against 12 in the re-exam, and 8 assertion-and-reason questions in the re-exam against 0.

Which chapters changed most between NEET 2026 and Re-NEET?

Biological Classification went from 2 to 5 questions, and Principles of Inheritance and Variation from 7 to 3. The full list is on this page.

Can I attempt both papers?

Yes. Both are on this site in full with solutions, and each can be attempted online on a CBT exam screen.
