Proven Strategies to Minimize Negative Marks in NEET UG

  • Rule #1

    Biology High Precision Rule: Botany & Zoology account for 360/720 (50%) of the total score. Achieving 95%+ accuracy in Biology provides a high score cushion.

  • Rule #2

    Avoid Blind Guessing: Losing 5 marks (4 positive not gained + 1 negative penalty) per wrong guess severely degrades your All India Rank (AIR).

  • Rule #3

    Physics Sectional Strategy: Prioritize high-yield formulaic questions first before tackling long numerical calculations.

  • Rule #4

    Bubble Verification: Ensure OMR sheet bubble numbers align with question paper numbers to prevent systematic negative marking cascade.
