NEET vs JEE Which is Tough, Better?

JEE Main and Advanced are conducted by NTA and IIT respectively for getting admission in IITs, NITs, IIITs and other Govt funded institutes. NEET is the common medical entrance test for MBBS and BDS courses in India.

Difference Between JEE and NEET

The main difference between JEE and NEET is that JEE is for getting admission in engineering while NEET is for getting admission in a medical college to become a doctor.

In this post, we will see the comparison between NEET and JEE in terms of difficulty level, a better career option, salary, earning and competition. 

NEET vs JEE – Which is tough?

As per the students who cleared JEE and NEET both, JEE is a bit tougher than NEET because of the difficulty level of the question paper. However, the large competition in NEET makes it difficult to secure admission in a top medical college.

IIT or NEET – Which is better?

It’s not fair to compare the IIT JEE and NEET on which is better than the other. If you are looking to make a career in the engineering domain (whether it’s IIT, Computer Science, Civil or Mechanical) then you have to prepare for JEE. If you want to become a doctor, then you must prepare for NEET.

IIT and NEET both are different. An IITian can’t treat someone who is not well or lying at the death bed and in the same way a doctor can’t code or design buildings.

As a parent or student, if you are not sure which is a good career option engineering or medicine, then take both Math and Biology in class 11 and prepare for JEE, NEET simultaneously. Physics and Chemistry are common subjects in JEE and NEET.

IIT JEE vs NEET – Salary 

Who earns more – an IITian or Doctor?

An IITian and a doctor both can earn well in their own field. IITians get huge packages in placements and doctors can earn handsome money after specialization (additional option of private practice).

IITians start earning earlier than doctors in most cases because of the duration of the courses. There are ample opportunities for you to make enough money in both career paths.

Which is more difficult to crack – JEE or NEET?

JEE Advanced is very hard to crack compared to NEET. The questions level of JEE is more difficult than NEET. NEET requires you to do a lot of memorization and solve more questions in the paper.

Which has more competition – NEET or JEE?

NEET has more competition than JEE because of the number of candidates giving the exams. NEET aspirants are higher than JEE largely due to more number of NEET droppers than the JEE ones. Plus the number of medical seats in government colleges is less than the number of engineering seats. 

Go through the complete syllabus at start (JEE Syllabus and NEET Syllabus). You need to learn topics, understand concepts and practice questions as per the syllabus.

Prepare a timetable giving time to all the subjects. Do not neglect any subject or give excessive time to any subject. However, your timetable should provide flexibility if any subject or topic requires more time than allotted, or when a test is scheduled next day.  

Break down the topic into several parts. Learn one by one. Visualize things. Draw diagrams to understand the concepts well.  

Make notes from day one of your preparation. Don’t be lazy. Having self-made notes is one of the best assets in clearing your target exam.  

If you join a coaching, revise your class notes each day after the class. You will understand concepts better this way. Make sure you achieve your daily or weekly targets.
