The National Medical Commission (NMC) has released the NEET 2024 syllabus. As compared to the previous years' syllabus, some of the topics have been removed from each of the three subjects, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. There are around nine chapters in Chemistry which have been removed. In Chemistry, the following chapters or topics have been removed from the units given in the table below. UnitsTopicsSome Basic Concepts of ChemistryGeneral Introduction: Important and scope of chemistry.Structure of AtomAtomic number, isotopes and isobars, Concept of shells and subshells, dual nature of matter and light.Some p-Block ElementsImportant compounds of silicon and a few uses: silicon tetrachloride, silicones, silicates and zeolites, their uses.Organic Compounds Containing NitrogenCyanides and Isocyanides- will be mentioned at relevant places.Environmental ChemistryEnvironmental pollution: Air, water and soil pollution, chemical reactions in atmosphere, smogs, major atmospheric pollutants; acid rain ozone and its reactions, effects of depletion of ozone layer, greenhouse effect and global warming-pollution due to industrial wastes; green chemistry as an alternative tool for reducing pollution, strategy for control of environmental pollution.PolymersClassification- Natural and synthetic, methods of polymerization (addition and condensation), copolymerization.

NEET or National Eligibility cum Entrance Test is a national level medical entrance exam for undergraduate courses. It is the gateway to admission to multiple medical and paramedical courses. Although earlier NEET scores were considered for MBBS and BDS courses only, but now, there are multiple courses including medical, dental, nursing and other paramedical courses, the admission to which are conducted through NEET scores. The course names are listed below:1. Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS)2. Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS)3. BSc Nursing4. Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS)5. Bachelor of Uninani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS)6. Bachelor Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS)7. Bachelor of Siddha Medicine and Surgery (BSMS)8. Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT)9. Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (BOTh)10. Bachelor of Audiology, Speech and Language Pathology (BASLP)11. Bachelor of Prosthetics and OrthoticsThese courses are offered at various colleges across India, and the admission is based on the NEET UG exam scores.
