IIT-JEE and NEET are two exams that many students opt to take. While studying for both is not impossible, it is certainly challenging. Students who are proficient in Maths and Biology can opt for PCMB stream and prepare for both.
While the syllabus of Physics and Chemistry for both JEE and NEET is the same, the level of Physics in JEE is far more complex than in NEET. For Chemistry, the NCERT Class 11 and Class 12 books are sufficient for preparation. But Physics requires more practice. Once the fundamentals are understood, solving problems won’t be difficult. The same goes for Maths.
