NEET Syllabus 2027: Subject-Wise Chapters & Official PDF
eSaral Academic and Editorial Team
Summary
The NEET syllabus 2027 is the National Medical Commission’s NEET (UG) 2026 syllabus: 50 units (Physics 20, Chemistry 20, Biology 10) drawn from NCERT Class 11 and 12. NMC finalised it on 22 December 2025 and removed no chapters compared with 2025. As of 20 October 2026, no separate 2027 syllabus notice has been issued, so this is the syllabus to prepare from: Rolling motion, Reynolds number, and Poisson’s ratio.

Has the NEET Syllabus 2027 Been Released?
Not as a separate document. NMC’s Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) notified the NEET (UG) 2026 syllabus on 22 December 2025 for the 2026–27 academic session, and no dedicated NEET 2027 syllabus notice has appeared since.
Item | Status (22 Oct 2026) |
|---|---|
NMC syllabus for NEET (UG) 2026 | Released 22 Dec 2025; no chapters removed vs 2025 |
Separate NEET UG 2027 syllabus notice | Not issued yet |
NEET 2027 information bulletin | Not released; expected around February 2027 |
NEET 2027 exam date | Not announced by NTA |
Exam mode | CBT announced by the Union Education Minister; format details awaited from NTA |
Because NMC left the syllabus untouched between 2025 and 2026, a carry-forward for 2027 is the most likely outcome. That is an expectation, not an announcement. We update this page as soon as NMC or NTA publishes anything new, and you can verify directly at nmc.org.in.
NEET Syllabus 2027 at a Glance: Units, Subjects and Marks
NEET tests three subjects across 50 NMC units, and Biology alone is half the paper. The table below summarises the structure you are preparing for (marks as per the NEET 2026 pattern; confirm in the 2027 bulletin).
Subject | NMC units | Questions | Marks | Share of paper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
20 (10 in Class 11, 10 in Class 12) | 45 | 180 | 25% | |
20 (Physical 8, Inorganic 4, Organic 8) | 45 | 180 | 25% | |
10 (5 in Class 11, 5 in Class 12) | 90 (45 + 45) | 360 | 50% | |
Total | 50 | 180 | 720 | 100% |
The syllabus is prescribed by NMC and the exam is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Questions are based on the NCERT Class 11 and 12 curriculum, so keep the NCERT books as your base text and use this unit list to stay on track.
What Has Changed for NEET 2027 Aspirants?
The syllabus has not changed; the exam format is what is changing. Three developments matter for your 2027 plan:
- No syllabus cuts for 2026. NMC confirmed the 2026 syllabus was unchanged from 2025, so earlier deletions (listed subject by subject below) remain in force.
- The 2026 exam was cancelled and re-held. After paper-leak allegations, NTA cancelled the 3 May 2026 exam on 12 May and held a re-exam on 21 June 2026. Read the background here.
- CBT from 2027. The Union Education Minister announced that NEET UG will move from OMR to computer-based testing. NTA is expected to publish the rules in the information bulletin, so practise with on-screen mock tests early.
NEET Physics Syllabus 2027: Which Chapters and Topics Are Included?

Is the Cockroach in the NEET Syllabus 2027? Is the Frog?
The cockroach is out; the frog is in. The brief account of the structure and organ systems of an insect (cockroach) was removed from the NMC syllabus, and the frog was added in the Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants unit. The official syllabus line is worded “insect (Frog)”, but the frog is an amphibian, not an insect. Also added: five plant families (Malvaceae, Cruciferae, Leguminosae, Compositae, Gramineae), classification and nomenclature of enzymes, and protein biosynthesis.
Which Biology Topics Are Deleted from the NEET Syllabus?
Skip these topics in your NEET 2027 Biology preparation:
- Three domains of life and taxonomic aids (museums, zoos, herbaria, botanical gardens); classification of angiosperms up to class level
- Transport in plants and mineral nutrition; seed dormancy and vernalisation
- Digestion and absorption (alimentary canal, enzymes, digestive disorders); sense organs and the structure of eye and ear
- Reproduction in organisms (asexual reproduction and vegetative propagation)
- Tobacco abuse and strategies for enhancing food production (plant breeding, tissue culture, single cell protein, biofortification, apiculture and animal husbandry)
- Habitat and niche, population adaptations, nutrient cycling, ecological succession and ecological services
- Environmental issues (air and water pollution, solid waste, ozone depletion, deforestation and case studies)
Some of these chapters still appear in your school NCERT, so a topic being in your textbook does not mean it is in NEET. When unsure, check the official unit list on nmc.org.in.

NEET Chapter-Wise Weightage: Which Chapters Carried the Most Questions?
Cell and Evolution in Biology, Coordination Compounds in Chemistry, and Modern Physics in Physics led the NEET 2026 paper. Use weightage to prioritise revision, never to skip chapters. Our NEET 2026 paper analysis gives the full breakdown. The top chapters were:
Subject | Top chapters by number of questions (NEET 2026, 3 May paper) |
|---|---|
Physics | Modern Physics (6); Electrostatics, Electromagnetic Induction, and Kinetic Theory with Thermodynamics (4 each) |
Chemistry | Coordination Compounds (5); Redox, Hydrocarbons, Electrochemistry, and Carboxylic Acids & Amines (3 each) |
Biology | Cell (7); Evolution (6); Biological Classification (5); Photosynthesis (4–5) |
Counts differ slightly between analyses because papers were set in multiple codes, so treat them as indicative. Older 2022–23 weightage tables are no longer a reliable guide for the current NMC syllabus. To practise by chapter, use our chapter-wise NEET PYQs with solutions and NEET important questions.
How to Complete the NEET 2027 Syllabus in 6 Months
Yes, you can, if you finish one full pass by January and use the rest of the time for revision and mock tests. If the exam falls on 2 May 2027 (unconfirmed), about 194 days remain from 20 October 2026. A practical phase plan:
Phase | Months | What to do |
|---|---|---|
1. Finish the first pass | Oct 2026 – Dec 2026 | Complete remaining units using the lists above. Read Biology NCERT line by line, including diagrams and tables. Skip deleted topics. |
2. Consolidate | Jan – Feb 2027 | Second pass of weak units, chapter-wise PYQs, formula sheets for Physics and Chemistry, practical chemistry and experimental skills. |
3. Test and fix | Mar – Apr 2027 | Weekly full-length mocks in CBT style, error log for every wrong answer, targeted revision of high-weightage chapters. |
4. Final revision | Last 3–4 weeks | NCERT Biology re-read, short notes, light mocks. Avoid new material. |
Starting from zero is much harder and benefits from an expert-led daily schedule. Explore eSaral NEET online and offline courses, practise with NEET previous year question papers, and test yourself in the NEET test series.
Frequently Asked Questions
Has the NEET syllabus 2027 been released?
Not as a separate document. As of 20 October 2026, NMC has not issued a dedicated NEET UG 2027 syllabus notice. The working syllabus is the NMC NEET (UG) 2026 syllabus notified on 22 December 2025, which had no chapters removed compared with 2025. Any change will be published on nmc.org.in and neet.nta.nic.in.
Is the NEET 2027 syllabus the same as NEET 2026?
It is expected to be, but this is not yet official. NMC kept the 2026 syllabus unchanged from 2025, and no 2027 revision has been announced. Prepare from the 2026 syllabus and re-check once the NEET 2027 information bulletin is out, expected around February 2027.
NEET ka syllabus kya hai? (What is the NEET syllabus?
NEET tests Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany and Zoology) from NCERT Class 11 and 12, across 50 NMC units: Physics 20, Chemistry 20 and Biology 10. The complete unit lists are on this page.
How many units and chapters are in the NEET syllabus?
The NMC syllabus lists 50 units. The number of NCERT chapters that map onto these units varies depending on how chapters are counted, so use the unit list as the official reference.
Who prepares the NEET syllabus, NMC or NTA?
NMC, through its Undergraduate Medical Education Board, prescribes the syllabus. NTA conducts the exam and publishes the syllabus and information bulletin for candidates.
Is the cockroach in the NEET syllabus 2027?
No. The insect (cockroach) account was removed from the NMC syllabus and replaced by the frog.
Is the frog in the NEET syllabus 2027?
Yes. The frog is covered as a brief account of its morphology, anatomy and the functions of its digestive, circulatory, respiratory, nervous and reproductive systems, under Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants.
What is the syllabus of Class 11 Biology for NEET?
Five units: Diversity in the Living World, Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants, Cell Structure and Function, Plant Physiology, and Human Physiology. Plant transport, mineral nutrition, and digestion and absorption have been removed from the list.
Which subject has the highest weightage in NEET?
Biology. It carries 90 of 180 questions (45 Botany and 45 Zoology), which is 360 of 720 marks, or 50%. Physics and Chemistry carry 180 marks each.
Is NCERT enough for the NEET 2027 syllabus?
NCERT is the base, and Biology is almost entirely NCERT-driven. Follow the NMC unit list rather than the textbook alone, because some topics, such as experimental skills in Physics and practical Chemistry, need extra notes. Add previous year questions and full-length mock tests.
When is the NEET 2027 exam, and how many days are left?
NTA has not announced the date. If the exam is held on the first Sunday of May 2027 (2 May), about 194 days remain from 20 October 2026. This is an estimate, not a confirmed date.
Can I complete the NEET syllabus in 6 months?
Yes, if you know the basics and follow a plan: one full pass by January, then NCERT revision, previous year questions and weekly mock tests. Starting from zero is harder and needs expert-led structure.
