Coordination Compounds contributed 26 of the 398 NEET Chemistry questions between 2020 and 2026 (Re-NEET 2026 included). That is 6.5% of the subject and makes it the #2 chapter out of 31 by weightage — roughly 3.3 questions per paper, peaking at 7 in Re-NEET 2026.
Of the 26 questions tagged for difficulty, 38% were easy, 43% medium and 19% hard — a fairly balanced mix of easy and moderate questions.
It has been asked more often lately: 5 questions per paper across NEET 2025, NEET 2026 and Re-NEET 2026, against 2 in 2020–2022.
The single most-tested topic is Magnetism — 3 questions across 3 papers.
18 topics tagged under Coordination Compounds. Numbers show how many questions each topic had in each paper; E / M / H are the easy, medium and hard counts.
