NEET 2017 - The Paper

Greetings Readers
Finally today on 7th May, 2017 the NEET 2017 paper was held from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. A lot of you readers must have given the paper.
Leaving the paper aside, first stay calm, however good, average or bad your paper went. You have given the best you could give and that’s what is important.
Now talking about the paper, from what I analysed after seeing the paper for about the past 30-40 minutes as I got it online, I felt that overall the paper was on the easier side as compared to both the papers of NEET 2016 and also RE-AIPMT 2015.
In Biology most questions were looking as directly picked from NCERT. Around 8-10 questions were not directly from NCERT text, but could be solved if one has attended NEET coaching and read coaching modules. The trend was in line with the last 2 year's papers.
Physical Chemistry wasn't that tough in calculation and the questions were of common types, not anything new. Organic Chemistry was pretty easy as compared to NEET-2 2016 Chemistry paper and anyone having done NCERT and coaching modules faithfully can get cent to cent marks. Inorganic Chemistry was also average, not easy not tough, just like it is.
Physics was a section I hoped after the papers of NEET 2016 and RE-AIPMT 2015 would remain of pretty good level, as compared to pre-2015 papers. It may seem moderately difficult for the average student, but for a well prepared student it was somewhat easier than both of 2016 papers. Questions may have got a bit tricky with the language but studying from standard coaching modules, books and notes, along with solid practice would have definitely got one through them.
For detailed topic wise distribution you can see the Full Paper Analysis on websites of coaching institutes like Resonance, Allen or Aakash which will arrive in few hours from now.
The cutoffs are expected to move up although no need to panic or worry. You have given your best and the paper is done now.
Better focus on the AIIMS UG exam now, which is an excellent opportunity as you have already covered the syllabus once and also are free from the NEET exam itself. You just have to improve your weak areas, keep up with practice of questions especially the Assertion and Reason ones, control negative marking and AIIMS is not a difficult thing to get through. 
Calm done today, talk to your friends and family, have a good sleep and start fresh from tomorrow as the AIIMS dream can’t wait!
Will write a post on AIIMS last month preparation too. Stay tuned.
