NEET 2026 Syllabus: Subject-Wise Topics and Weightage

Introduction to NEET 2026 Syllabus

• NEET 2026 exam is expected in May 2026, and the syllabus has no major changes compared to 2025, but NMC has rationalized Biology by reducing low-weightage topics
• The syllabus focuses on core concepts from NCERT textbooks, emphasizing problem-solving and application-based questions.
• Total questions: 180 (45 Physics, 45 Chemistry, 90 Biology), with 720 marks; negative marking applies for wrong answers.

Physics Syllabus and Weightage

Physics in NEET tests foundational laws and numerical applications from Class 11 and 12.

Class 11 Topics

• Physical World and Measurement: Units, dimensions, and errors.
• Kinematics: Motion in straight line and plane.
• Laws of Motion: Newton's laws and friction.
• Work, Energy and Power: Conservation laws and collisions.
• Motion of System of Particles and Rigid Body: Rotational motion.
• Gravitation: Universal law and orbital motion.
• Properties of Bulk Matter: Elasticity, viscosity, and surface tension.
• Thermodynamics: Laws of thermodynamics and heat transfer.
• Behaviour of Perfect Gas and Kinetic Theory: Ideal gas equation.
• Oscillations and Waves: Simple harmonic motion and wave properties.

Class 12 Topics

• Electrostatics: Charges, fields, and potential.
• Current Electricity: Ohm's law and circuits.
• Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism: Biot-Savart law and magnetic materials.
• Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents: Faraday's law and AC circuits.
