Introduction
Physics is often seen as the most conceptually demanding subject in the NEET syllabus. With 45 questions in the paper and 180 marks at stake, your Physics preparation can greatly influence your overall score and rank. Unlike Biology, which leans heavily on memorization, Physics tests your problem-solving ability, logical reasoning, and understanding of mathematical models. For many students, reaching 150+ in this section seems difficult—but with a structured study plan and clear focus on scoring chapters, it’s absolutely possible.
At Deeksha Vedantu, we help students not just with study materials, but with deep guidance rooted in understanding what the exam truly tests. In this comprehensive blog, we break down everything you need to know to score over 150 marks in Physics for NEET 2026. We include a detailed analysis of chapter-wise weightage, key topics, common errors, preparation strategies, and even time management techniques inside the exam hall.
We also explore how the foundation laid in your PU years—especially through programs like our Science PU programs and Residential PU programs—can help you build the confidence and clarity needed for success.

Understanding the Physics Section in NEET
Key Characteristics of NEET Physics
- Total Questions: 45
- Total Marks: 180
- Marking Scheme: +4 for correct, -1 for incorrect
- Nature: Numerical + Conceptual blend
- Time Demand: Moderate to high
- Success Strategy: Clarity + Speed + Consistent Practice
NEET Physics questions usually come from both theoretical understanding and application-based problems. Students often find it challenging not because of the syllabus volume, but due to the time it takes to solve numericals under pressure.
Chapter-Wise Weightage: Know Where to Focus
Class 11 Topics
| Chapter | Expected Weightage (%) | Number of Questions |
| Laws of Motion | 7% | 3–4 |
| Thermodynamics | 6% | 2–3 |
| Work, Power, and Energy | 5% | 2 |
| Kinematics | 4% | 1–2 |
| Oscillations and Waves | 4% | 1–2 |
| Units and Measurements | 2% | 1 |
| Gravitation | 3% | 1 |
Class 12 Topics
| Chapter | Expected Weightage (%) | Number of Questions |
| Current Electricity | 8% | 3–4 |
| Modern Physics | 9% | 3–4 |
| Optics | 10% | 4–5 |
| Electrostatics | 6% | 2–3 |
| Magnetism | 7% | 2–3 |
| Electromagnetic Induction | 4% | 1–2 |
| Semiconductors | 3% | 1 |
The takeaway? Prioritize topics that offer high yield with manageable effort—like Modern Physics, Current Electricity, and Optics—before diving into complex mechanics.

How to Structure Your Physics Preparation
Foundation First, Practice Next
- Begin every topic with NCERT to establish your base
- Watch explanatory videos for visual learners (use Deeksha’s video library)
- Move on to solving examples from HC Verma, then DC Pandey
- Practice PYQs for every topic right after completing theory
Daily Practice Routine
- Numericals: Minimum 40 questions a day, gradually increasing
- Formula Review: Keep a dedicated notebook for formulas and revise weekly
- Mock Tests: Schedule one full-length test weekly starting 6 months before NEET
Layered Revision Strategy
- First revision: After finishing each chapter
- Second revision: Within 15 days
- Monthly recap: Cover every chapter touched in the month
- Final revision: 30 days before NEET, only mock tests + error correction
Mistakes NEET Aspirants Make—and How to Avoid Them
- Jumping into questions without understanding theory
- Neglecting Class 11 topics thinking Class 12 is more important
- Ignoring diagram-based questions, especially in Optics and Magnetism
- Leaving out low-weightage chapters that could still fetch 4 marks
- Over-relying on shortcuts without understanding derivations
Avoid these pitfalls by maintaining consistency and embracing feedback from mentors.
Time Management Strategy in the Exam Hall
- First Sweep (15 min): Attempt all direct conceptual questions
- Second Sweep (25 min): Solve medium difficulty problems
- Third Sweep (10–15 min): Attempt remaining numericals if time allows
- Mark uncertain answers for review if unsure, don’t rush to guess
Resources That Will Help You Master Physics
- NCERT Physics Textbooks (Class 11 & 12)
- HC Verma’s Concepts of Physics
- DC Pandey’s NEET Physics series
- Deeksha Vedantu’s exclusive study material, practice sheets, and mentorship support
