The Education Minister had said recently that the NEET 2021 will be conducted on the basis of the syllabus released by the exam conducting bodies.

NEET 2021: With the ministry giving no clarity on the NEET 2021 dates, the anxiety amongst the students is increasing every day. Though the announcement regarding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET) 2021 is still awaited, Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank during his live interactions in recent times gave several hints pertaining to the NEET-UG 2021 dates and NEET 2021 Syllabus

On January 18, the Education Ministry had announced that the NEET 2021 will be conducted as per the revised CBSE Board Exams syllabus. This had given relief to many students who have been eagerly waiting for the announcement of the NEET 2021 syllabus. However, the Ministry of Education on January 19 made an official announcement that NEET 2021 syllabus will remain unchanged for the academic year 2021. 

With these two statements, now the question arises if the NEET 2021 syllabus is changed or not? So, the answer is no. As per the official notification, the NEET 2021 syllabus will remain unchanged, however, unlike previous years, students will be given a choice to answer the question in NEET 2021 exam. This year, the candidates will be given 20 per cent more questions to choose from to make up for the academic loss they went through due to the coronavirus outbreak.
