NEET 2026 Syllabus
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is India's premier medical entrance exam for MBBS, BDS, and other medical courses. The NEET 2026 syllabus, as per the National Testing Agency (NTA), is primarily based on NCERT Class 11 and 12 textbooks. As of September 18, 2025, the official NEET 2026 syllabus is yet to be released but is expected to align with the NEET 2025 syllabus, covering Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (Botany + Zoology). Below is a detailed syllabus breakdown in tabular format, covering 97 chapters. The exam consists of 180 questions (Physics: 45, Chemistry: 45, Biology: 90) for 720 marks, with +4 for correct answers and -1 for incorrect ones. Focus on NCERT, high-weightage topics (e.g., Human Physiology, Mechanics, Organic Chemistry), and check neet.nta.nic.in for the official PDF in February 2026.
