1. The Test pattern of NEET (UG)-2023 comprises of two Sections. Each subject (Physics, Chemistry, Botany,
Zoology ) will consist of two sections. Section A will consist of 35 Questions and Section B will have 15
questions, out of these 15 Questions, candidates can choose to attempt any 10 Questions. So, the total
number of questions and utilization of time will remain the same. Total No. of Questions (200 ), The
duration of the test would be 3 :20 hours.
2. Tile questions paper and OMR (Optical Mark Reader) Answer Sheet is issued separately at the start of the
examination.
3. Choice and sequence for attempting questions will be as per the convenience of the candidate.
4. Candidate should carefully read the instructions printed on the Questions Booklet and Answer Sheet and
make the correct entries on the Answer Sheet. As Answer Sheet are designed to suit the OPTICAL MARK
READER (OMR) SYSTEM, special care should be taken to mark the entries correctly. Special care should be
taken to fill QUESTION BOOKLET VERSION, SERIAL No. and NEET-IIB-2023-24 Roll . accurately. The candidate
must sign on the Answer Sheet and Question Booklet.
5. Determine the one correct answer from out of the four available options given for each question,
6. NEET (UG) – 2023 is a Pen & Paper-based Test, to be answered on the specially designed machine gradable
OMR sheet using Ball Point Pen.
7. Use of whitener or any other material to erase/hide the circle once filled is not permitted.
8. Rough work should be done only one the blank space provided on the Question Booklet. Rough work should
not be done on the Answer Sheet.
9. Immediately after the prescribed examination time is over. the Question Booklet and Answer sheet is to be
returned to the invigilator. Confirm that both the candidate and invigilator have signed on question booklet
and Answer Sheet.

When the metal bob of a simple pendulum is immersed in a non-viscous liquid, the oscillation period increases by a factor due to the buoyancy effect, as represented by T_new = T × √(ρ_metal/ρ_liquid), where T_new is 3T, when density ratio is 9:8 .
The work function of a photocell relates to its stopping potential via the photoelectric equation, eΦ = h(ν - ν₀), where the stopping potential is the voltage needed to stop emissions from incoming photons with energies outweighing the work function at a specified frequency .
Tertiary amines exhibit reduced basicity in aqueous solutions compared to secondary amines due to steric hindrance from three alkyl groups which inhibit solvation and protonation, reducing nitrogen's lone pair availability for donation .
Interhalogen compounds are generally more reactive than individual halogens except fluorine, and while they are covalent and volatile, they lack the stability, being quite unstable though not explosive .
The resistance R is calculated using the formula R = ρ(L/A), where L is the length, A is the cross-sectional area, and ρ is the resistivity. Given dimensions 1 cm × 1 cm × 100 cm with resistivity 3 × 10⁻⁷ Ωm, the resistance between the 1 cm × 1 cm faces (L = 100 cm, and A = 1 cm²) is R = (3 × 10⁻⁷ Ωm)(100 cm/1 cm²) = 3 × 10⁻⁵ Ω .
When the pressure of a gas is doubled and the temperature is reduced to one-third, the density increases by a factor of 6. This outcome results from applying the ideal gas law, where density is proportional to pressure and inversely proportional to temperature, thus fulfilling the relationship ρ_new = (P_new/P_old) × (T_old/T_new) × ρ_old = 2 × 3 × ρ_initial = 6ρ_initial .
Doping pure silicon with indium, a trivalent impurity, increases the hole concentration to 4.5 × 10²² m⁻³, transforming the semiconductor to a p-type. The presence of indium reduces electron concentration to 2.5 × 10¹⁰ m⁻³ due to recombination of electrons with holes .
Inside a uniformly charged non-conducting sphere, the electric field E varies linearly with the distance from the center, following E = (1/ε₀)(Qr/R³) due to the spherical symmetry where charge enclosed scales with the volume of a sphere segment .
Inserting a dielectric slab between the plates of a capacitor increases its capacitance as the dielectric alters the field, thereby increasing the charge stored. Consequently, the potential difference across remains constant while stored energy depends largely on dielectric properties .
Accurate ATP net gain calculations from glucose oxidation require assumptions that include a sequential pathway process, NADH engaging in oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria, and the exclusion of alternative substrates, as they might enter pathways at intermediate stages .
