NEET UG Syllabus 2026: NMC Revised Curriculum, Subject-wise Topics & Weightage
The NEET UG Syllabus is officially formulated and revised by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and administered by the National Testing Agency. The curriculum is closely aligned with the core concepts of Class 11 and Class 12 CBSE/NCERT science curricula across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (Botany & Zoology).
1. Physics Syllabus Breakdown
Physics assesses both conceptual understanding and quantitative problem-solving skills across Class 11 and 12 modules:
| Class 11 Topics | Class 12 Topics |
|---|---|
| Physics and Measurement & Units | Electrostatics (Electric Charges, Fields & Potential) |
| Kinematics (Motion in a Straight Line & Plane) | Current Electricity (Circuits & Kirchhoff's Laws) |
| Laws of Motion (Newton's Laws, Friction, Circular Motion) | Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism |
| Work, Energy, and Power | Electromagnetic Induction & Alternating Currents |
| Rotational Motion (Centre of Mass & Moment of Inertia) | Electromagnetic Waves |
| Gravitation (Kepler's Laws, Gravitational Potential) | Optics (Ray Optics & Wave Optics) |
| Properties of Solids and Fluids (Viscosity, Surface Tension) | Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation |
| Thermodynamics & Kinetic Theory of Gases | Atoms and Nuclei |
| Oscillations and Waves (SHM, Doppler Effect) | Electronic Devices (Semiconductor Diodes & Logic) |
2. Chemistry Syllabus Breakdown
Chemistry is divided into Physical, Inorganic, and Organic branches with balanced question weightage:
| Physical Chemistry | Inorganic Chemistry | Organic Chemistry |
|---|---|---|
| Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry (Mole Concept) | Classification of Elements & Periodicity | Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry (IUPAC & Isomerism) |
| Structure of Atom (Quantum Numbers, Orbitals) | p-Block Elements (Group 13 to 18) | Hydrocarbons (Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Arenes) |
| Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure | d- and f-Block Elements | Haloalkanes and Haloarenes |
| Chemical Thermodynamics & Energetics | Coordination Compounds | Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers |
| Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium | Principles of Qualitative Practical Analysis | Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids |
| Solutions & Colligative Properties | Periodic Trends in Chemical Reactivity | Organic Compounds Containing Nitrogen (Amines, Diazonium) |
| Electrochemistry & Nernst Equation | Valence Bond and Molecular Orbital Theory | Biomolecules (Carbohydrates, Proteins, Nucleic Acids) |
| Chemical Kinetics & Rate Laws | Coordination Isomerism & Ligands | Purification & Characterisation of Organic Compounds |
3. Biology (Botany & Zoology) Syllabus Breakdown
Biology constitutes 50% of the total examination (360 marks out of 720) and is directly rooted in NCERT textbooks:
- Diversity in Living World: Classification systems, Plant Kingdom (Algae, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms), Animal Kingdom (Non-chordates to Chordates).
- Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants: Plant anatomy and morphology, animal tissues and frog anatomy.
- Cell Structure and Function: Cell theory, cell organelles, biomolecules, enzymes, cell cycle, and mitosis/meiosis.
- Plant Physiology: Photosynthesis in higher plants, cellular respiration, and plant growth and development.
- Human Physiology: Breathing and exchange of gases, body fluids and circulation, excretory products, locomotion and movement, neural control and chemical coordination.
- Reproduction: Sexual reproduction in flowering plants, human reproduction, and reproductive health.
- Genetics and Evolution: Principles of inheritance and variation (Mendelian genetics, sex determination), molecular basis of inheritance (DNA replication, transcription, translation), and evolution.
- Biology and Human Welfare: Health and disease (pathogens, immunity, AIDS, cancer), microbes in human welfare.
- Biotechnology and Its Applications: Recombinant DNA technology, genetically modified organisms (Bt cotton), gene therapy, and molecular diagnostics.
- Ecology and Environment: Organisms and populations, ecosystems, biodiversity conservation, and environmental issues.
