What is the NEET 2027 syllabus based on?

The NEET-UG syllabus is based on the NCERT curriculum for Class 11 and Class 12 across Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The NTA publishes a rationalised syllabus that aligns closely with these NCERT textbooks.

How many subjects and questions are there in NEET?

NEET has three subjects: Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany + Zoology). The paper has 180 compulsory questions in 180 minutes for a total of 720 marks, with +4 for each correct answer and −1 for each wrong answer.

Which subject has the highest weightage in NEET?

Biology carries the highest weightage, 90 questions for 360 marks (half the paper), split between Botany and Zoology. Physics and Chemistry have 45 questions (180 marks) each.

Is the NEET syllabus the same as the Class 11 and 12 board syllabus?

It overlaps heavily with the NCERT Class 11 & 12 syllabus, but NEET tests concepts in greater depth and from an application angle. Mastering NCERT thoroughly is the most reliable foundation for NEET.

Has the NEET syllabus been reduced or changed recently?

The NTA periodically rationalises the syllabus. The latest official NEET-UG syllabus is published on the NTA website, and topics can be added or removed.

How should I use the syllabus to prepare for NEET?

Start with NCERT, track each chapter's approximate weightage, prioritise high-yield topics (especially in Biology), and practise previous-year questions chapter-wise to understand how each topic is tested.
