As one of the most competitive entrance examinations for medical science in India, the NCERT administers the competitive NEET test to students studying Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in Classes 11 and 12. Knowing everything about the syllabus is the first step to successful preparation.

NEET Syllabus:

We can divide the NEET syllabus into Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. In their turn, each contains two separate sections from Classes 11 and 12, aiming to convey fundamental concepts and their application. You can decompile the syllabus subject-wise.

1. Physics

The numerous numerical problems and application-based questions in NEET make physics one of the most challenging subjects. Here are a few of those issues mentioned in the syllabus.

For Class 11: 

• Physical World and Measurement 
• Kinematics 
• Laws of Motion 
• Work, energy, and power. 
• Motion of System of Particles and Rigid Body 
• Gravitation 
• Properties of Bulk Matter 
• Thermodynamics 
• Behavior of Perfect Gas and Kinetic Theory 
• Oscillations and Waves 

For Class 12: 

• Electrostatics 
• Current Electricity 
• Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism 
• Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents 
• Electromagnetic Waves 
• Optics 
• The dual nature of matter and radiation 
• Atoms and nuclei. 
• Electronic Devices 

2. Chemistry 

The major divisions in chemistry are physical chemistry, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. 

For Class 11: 

1. Some basic chemistry concepts 

2. Structure of Atom 

3. Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties 

4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure 

5. States of Matter: Gases and Liquids 

6. Thermodynamics 

7. Equilibrium 

8. The s-Block Element (Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals) 

9. The p-Block Element is one of the Group 13 elements.

10. Organic Chemistry—Some Basic Principles and Techniques 

11. Hydrocarbons 

12. Environmental chemistry 

For Class 12: 

• Solid State 
• Solutions 
• Electrochemistry 
• Chemical Kinetics 
• Surface Chemistry 
• D- and F-Block Elements 
• Coordination Compounds 
• Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 
• Alcohols, phenols, and ethers 
• Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids 
• Organic compounds containing nitrogen 
• Biomolecules 
• Polymers 
• Chemistry in Everyday Life 

3. Biology 

The NEET subjects with the most weight are biology, accounting for half the marks. The syllabus also focuses on establishing concepts in zoology and botany.

For Class 11: 

• Diversity in the Living World 
• Structural Organization in Animals and Plants 
• Cell structure and function 
• Plant Physiology 
• Human Physiology 
• For Class 12: 
• Reproduction 
• Genetics and evolution 
• Biology and Human Welfare 
• Biotechnology and Its Applications 
• Ecology and Environment 

Tips to Cover Syllabus

Weightage Topics First: The ones usually asked in last year's questions carry substantial weight—genetics in biology and relativity in physics are examples of such topics. 

NCERT: Rather than relying on jargon-filled, bulky syllabi from coaching institutes, it is recommended that you read the textbooks provided in the NCERT syllabi. It's crucial not only to grasp the concepts, but also to ensure a clear understanding.

Simultaneously, they prioritize all these tasks and create a study schedule for the individual segments of each subject.

Regular Practice: Go through the last year's question papers and also solve sample papers according to the exam pattern. Take tests frequently. 

Regular Revision: Examine the syllabus repeatedly.

FAQs of Neat Syllabus:

1. Is the syllabus of NEET different from that of NCERT? 

The NEET exam is based on the curriculum from NCERT of Classes 11 and 12, but candidates should refer to previous question papers and add any additional topics that are frequently tested in NEET.

2. Which are the topics carrying the highest weightage in NEET? 

• These often vary slightly over the years, but the most high-scoring units are: 
• Biology: Genetics, Ecology, and Human Physiology 
• Physics: Mechanics, Optics, and Thermodynamics 
• Chemistry: Organic chemistry, chemical bonding, and coordination compounds 

3. How will I manage such a large NEET syllabus?

We need to break down such a vast syllabus into easily manageable units. You do need to allocate more time to these high-weightage topics. Follow the NCERT books and incorporate them into your learning process. Solve questions. Frequently revise. You might even consider taking figure-preserving or online courses.

4. Do you foresee any changes in the NEET syllabus for the upcoming examination? 

At the time of writing, the recognized syllabus with NCERT for Classes 11 to 12 has not undergone any changes. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will promptly announce any changes to the syllabus on its official website.

5. How do I manage the time for each of my subjects? 

We should allocate time to each subject based on its strengths and weaknesses, considering their relevance. Thus, an optimal balance in: 

• Higher weightage to biology 
• Make sure to dedicate enough time to solving physics problems using numerical methods.
• The field of chemistry, particularly organic chemistry, receives regular updates.

As simple as it sounds, after all the steps, you'll understand the comprehensive syllabus and get into your dream medical school.
