🧭 How to approach Thermodynamics in the NEET exam

One of the heaviest chapters in the paper — strong performance here moves your rank the most. Make it a priority in revision and aim to attempt every question from it.

Physics is formula- and application-driven. Lock down the core formulas, then drill numerical PYQs until the setup is automatic. With −1 marking, attempt a question only once you've identified the right relation — never guess on a long calculation.
