NEET UG Syllabus

The NEET UG syllabus for 2024 has undergone significant revisions. The NTA released the NEET 2024 syllabus on November 22, which was previously available on the NMC's official website. According to the NTA, unveiling the NEET syllabus before the information brochure or the application form will enable students to plan their preparation more effectively. However, unlike previous years, the chapters are no longer categorized into Class 11 and Class 12 chapters. Additionally, the NMC NEET syllabus for Chemistry has been divided into three sections: Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. Several chapters or topics have been omitted from all three subjects, while some topics have been newly introduced.

No, the topic or chapter on earthworm is not included in the NEET Biology syllabus. The NEET 22024 syllabus underwent changes wherein certain topics were removed and various topics have been added from other state Boards. In the NEET 2024 revised syllabus, there was no mention of the Earthworms topic. Under the unit of Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants, the topic of 'Nervous and reproductive of an insect and Frog.' Based on last year's syllabus, it is estimated that the insect is cockroach, along with frog. Hence, it can be estimated that the Earthworm topic will not be included in the NEET 2025 Biology syllabus as well. Also Read: NEET 2024 Syllabus: NTA Answers Frequently Asked Questions Regarding NEET Revised Syllabus

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.

The Chemistry section of NEET is divided into three sub-sections: Physical, Organic and Inorganic. The least number of questions are from Physical Chemistry. Inorganic and Organic Chemistry chapters have almost similar weightage. In terms of the ratio of Class 11 and Class 12 syllabus of NEET the latter has a higher weightage. The total number of questions asked from the Chemistry section will be 50, out of which 45 questions have to be attempted. The topics carrying high weightage in NEET based on last year's analysis are given in the table below.NEET Chemistry TopicsNumber of QuestionsOrganic Chemistry18Inorganic Chemistry17Physical Chemistry15

The Biology section of NEET is divided into two sub-sections: Zoology and Botany. Each of these sections will have 50 questions, out of which candidates will have to attempt 45 questions. The total number of questions on Biology in the NEET question paper will be 90. The topics and chapters from Zoology and Botany subjects will be equally distributed. Among the three subjects, Biology has the highest weightage in NEET syllabus. Based on the last year's NEET analysis, the important topics of Botany and Zoology along with their weightages are given in the below table.BotanyNumber of QuestionsCell Biology - Introduction, Prokaryotic Cell5Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants - Sexual Reproduction Introduction 4Application Biology (Biotechnology) - Principles of Biotechnology4Plant Physiology-II-Photosynthesis In Higher Plants - Introduction (Early experiments), site of photosynthesis and photosynthetic pigments4Genetics II - Nucleic Acids (The Generic Material, DNA, RNA)4ZoologyNumber of QuestionsCell Biology - Introduction, Prokaryotic Cell4Animal Kingdom-1 - Porifera4Human Reproduction and Reproductive Health - Male Reproductive System6
