NEET Physics Syllabus with Chapter-wise Weightage

NEET Physics Syllabus with Chapter-wise Weightage: The NEET Physics syllabus consists of a major chunk of the exam preparation. Physics is a critical subject to prepare as based on previous years’ NEET analysis, Physics is the toughest subject in the NEET exam. The National Medical Commission (NMC) has finalised and released the NEET 2025 syllabus. The syllabus has remained the same as last year. It is expected that the NEET 2025 Physics chapter-wise weightage will also be the same as last year, similar to the syllabus.

NEET 2025 is expected to be conducted in the first week of May 2025. With less than six months to go for the exam, students who find Physics their toughest subject must know the complete NEET Physics syllabus with chapter-wise weightage to prepare well for the exam. To help students ace the NEET 2025 Physics syllabus, this article of Shiksha.com, we bring you the complete syllabus along with chapter-wise weightage. 

Q:   What are the important chapters of the NEET syllabus?

A:

All the chapters are important for NEET 2025. However, the most number of questions are asked from the following chapters of the syllabus of NEET.

Physics:

  • Laws of Motion of System of Practices and Rigid Body
  • Current Electricity Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
  • Semiconductor Electronics
  • Thermodynamics

Chemistry:

  • Chemical Bonding
  • p-block
  • Coordination Compounds
  • General Organic Chemistry
  • Aromatic Compounds
  • Mole Concepts
  • Thermodynamics
  • Equilibrium

Botany

  • Genetics and Evolution
  • Ecology and Environment
  • Plant Physiology

Zoology

  • Human Physiology
  • Human Reproduction and Reproductive Health
  • Animal Kingdom, Origin & Evolution.

Students must note that these are a handful of important topics for the NEET 2025 syllabus and they should not restrict their preparation to these topics only, and be prepared for all the other chapters and topics carrying a high weightage in the NEET question paper based on past years' exam analysis. 

Q:   Has there been any change in the syllabus of NEET 2025?

A:

No, there has not been any change in the NEET 2025 syllabus. Last year, the NEET syllabus underwent major changes as per the recommendation by the National Medical Commission (NMC).  A number of chapters and topics were removed from Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects. On the other hand, certain topics and chapters were added and some of the topics were modified. Since such major changes were brought in to last year's NEET syllabus, the NEET 2025 syllabus is unchanged. 

NEET syllabus 2025 has been released officially by NMC in December 2024. Hence, students preparing for NEET 2025 should start preparing, or continue their preparation based on last year's NEET syllabus. Even if some changes are introduced to the NEET 2025 syllabus, those would not be something major. 

Q:   What is the syllabus of NEET UG?

A:

NEET UG Syllabus is divided among 4 sections- Physics Chemistry Zoology Botany All these 4 sections hold same marks for the examination and all the sections have 45 questions to be attempted in 45 minds itself. From the link NEET Exam Syllabus you can check the complete syllabus and important topics for 11th and 12th for Physics, Chemistry, and Zoology & Botany. More than 75% Biology syllabus is asked from NCERT, so it is mandatory for the candidate to pay the complete attention to NCERT of class 11th and class 12th. 

The latest NEET syllabus is not segregated into Class 11 and Class 12 syllabus, but for the convenience of students, we have provided the segregated topics. An entire unit, 'Experimental Skills' has been added.

NEET 2024 Physics Syllabus 

As stated before, several topics have been removed whereas an entire unit has been added. There are as many as 20 units in the NEET Physics syllabus for 2024. The complete syllabus is given below.

Unit I: Physics and Measurement

Q:   Is the NEET syllabus tough?

A:

The NEET syllabus is same as that of Class 11 and Class 12 CBSE Board exam syllabi. Hence, it is not that difficult or students need not study anything additional apart from their school or Board exam studies. However, the difficulty level of the exam depends on the question types, which is generally tricky in nature, which makes the difference in the difficulty level.

The best way to tackle the NEET syllabus is through revision and taking as many mock tests as possible. According to experts and previous years' NEET analysis, Physics section is the toughest followed by Chemistry and Biology. Moreover, toughness is subjective and it depends on the preparation level and aptitude of students.

Q:   What is the Biology syllabus for NEET?

A:

The Biology syllabus for NEET has undergone changes based on the recommendations by the National Medical Commission (NMC). Although earlier the NEET syllabus for Biology was categorised into Class 11 and Class 12 syllabus, it has now been merged. The units of the NEET 2024 Biology syllabus is given below. 

Unit I: Diversity in Living World

Unit II: Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants

Unit III: Cell Structure and Function

Unit IV: Plant Physiology

Unit V: Human Physiology

Unit VI: Reproduction

Unit VII: Genetics and Evolution

Unit VIII: Biology and Human Welfare

Unit IX: Biotechnology and Its Applications

Unit X: Ecology and Environment

Q:   Why was the NEET 2024 syllabus changed?

A:

The National Testing Agency (NTA), had clarified the reason behind changing the NEET 2024 syllabus. NTA stated, "Due to the COVID-19 scenario, various School Boards deleted portions of each subject's syllabus. The deleted portion is still not being taken back by these Boards. The deletions were not uniform across various boards. Hence, a number of requests were received by the NTA for the revision of the syllabus." Last year, before the NEET exam, several students and parents asked NTA to release the rationalised NEET syllabus. Since the syllabus of NEET was already released before the rationalisation took place, 

Q:   Which topics were removed from the Biology subject of the NEET 2024 syllabus?

A:

The National Medical Commission (NMC) had revised the NEET 2024 syllabus. As compared to the previous years' syllabus, some of the topics were removed from each of the three subjects, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.  In the Biology subject, chapters have been removed in around six units. The following table brings the list of chapters and topics along with the units, which were removed in the NEET 2024 syllabus.

How to Prepare for NEET Physics Syllabus

Now that you have known the NEET Physics syllabus and chapter-wise weightage, it is high time that you know the preparation strategy for the NEET Physics section. Here we bring some key tips to prepare for the NEET Physics subject. 

  • Strengthen the concepts: Since Physics is a fundamental subject, it is of prime importance to clear the concepts. After going through the syllabus, if you find any chapter or topic difficult, start it from the very beginning, even if you have completed those chapters. Take the help of your school books or your mentors, teachers or seniors to clear your doubts. 
  • Focus on key topics: Now that you know the chapters with high weightage, focus on the key topics. Ensure that you have prepared for the chapter or topic fully and solve practice questions to assess your level of preparation. In case of a low score, you have to understand the reasons and modify your preparation strategy accordingly. 
  • Form an effective preparation strategy: The preparation strategy should focus on two aspects, time management, and a topic-wise approach. In the first factor, you should create a timetable or a routine to allocate adequate time for each subject and topic. The timetable should have durations allotted to preparation, revision and practice. For the second aspect, you should start with the manageable topics at first and complete one topic at a time. You should also prioritise the topics based on your strengths and weaknesses. 
  • Practice and revise regularly: Simply completing chapters or topics is not enough if you want to ace the NEET Physics subject. Regular revision and practice play key roles. After completing each subject, make revision notes and go though those. Also practice questions and take sectional mock tests to check your preparation level.

Apart from the above tips, always be in touch with your peers and teachers and reach out to them at any point of difficulty. Also, there are plenty of online resources which can be easily availed for NEET Physics preparation and practice.
