The NEET syllabus is set by NMC and published by NTA with the information bulletin. Since 2024 it follows the rationalised NCERT of Class 11 and 12, which trimmed several older chapters. The 2027 syllabus is expected to stay on this base. Here is the whole thing, unit by unit, with notes on where marks actually come from.
45 questions, 180 marks. Physics decides ranks because it has the widest score spread. Mechanics and Electrodynamics together carry roughly half the paper.
| Class 11 units | Class 12 units |
|---|---|
| Units and measurement | Electrostatics |
| Kinematics | Current electricity |
| Laws of motion | Magnetic effects of current and magnetism |
| Work, energy and power | Electromagnetic induction and AC |
| Rotational motion | Electromagnetic waves |
| Gravitation | Optics |
| Properties of solids and liquids | Dual nature of matter and radiation |
| Thermodynamics | Atoms and nuclei |
| Kinetic theory of gases | Electronic devices |
| Oscillations and waves | Experimental skills |
45 questions, 180 marks, split across Physical, Inorganic and Organic chemistry. Inorganic is the most NCERT loyal section of the whole paper, so reading those chapters line by line pays directly.
| Class 11 units | Class 12 units |
|---|---|
| Some basic concepts of chemistry | Solutions |
| Structure of atom | Electrochemistry |
| Classification of elements and periodicity | Chemical kinetics |
| Chemical bonding and molecular structure | d and f block elements |
| Thermodynamics | Coordination compounds |
| Equilibrium | Haloalkanes and haloarenes |
| Redox reactions | Alcohols, phenols and ethers |
| p block elements | Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids |
| Organic chemistry: basic principles | Amines |
| Hydrocarbons | Biomolecules |
90 questions, 360 marks, half the paper. Botany and Zoology get 45 questions each. Biology is where a serious NCERT reader builds the score floor: Human physiology, Genetics and Ecology alone usually cross 100 marks.
| Class 11 units | Class 12 units |
|---|---|
| Diversity in the living world | Reproduction |
| Structural organisation in plants and animals | Genetics and evolution |
| Cell structure and function | Biology and human welfare |
| Plant physiology | Biotechnology and its applications |
| Human physiology | Ecology and environment |
A syllabus list is not a plan. Sequence it: finish Class 11 foundations before Class 12 applications in Physics and Chemistry, and run Biology NCERT in parallel from day one. The month by month NEET 2027 study plan does exactly this, the chapter by chapter checklist tracks your progress, and every chapter here is covered by NCERT linked practice questions that show the exact NCERT line behind each answer.
NEET has used the rationalised NCERT based syllabus since 2024, which dropped several older chapters. NEET 2027 is expected to continue on the same base. Always confirm against the official syllabus PDF that NTA publishes with the information bulletin.
For Biology and Inorganic chemistry, NCERT covers the large majority of questions. Physics and Physical chemistry need NCERT concepts plus heavy numerical practice from a question bank and past papers.
Roughly 20 units each in Physics and Chemistry and 10 units in Biology, drawn from Class 11 and 12. Units group multiple NCERT chapters, so plan at the chapter level, around 79 NCERT chapters in total.
Yes. Since 2025 the paper is back to 180 compulsory questions with no optional section. See the full pattern in our NEET 2027 exam pattern guide.
