Frequently Asked Questions

Is the NEET 2027 syllabus the same as 2026?

The NEET UG syllabus was reduced significantly by NMC in 2024 and has been stable since. The 2027 syllabus is expected to remain identical to 2026 unless NMC announces a further revision. This page will update immediately if any change is notified.

How many questions are there in NEET UG 2027?

NEET UG has 200 questions in total, out of which candidates must attempt 180. It is divided into four sections: Physics (45 questions), Chemistry (45), Botany (45), and Zoology (45). Each section allows 10 optional questions out of 15 in Section B.

Which subjects have highest weightage in NEET?

Biology (Botany plus Zoology) carries the highest weightage in NEET at 360 marks (half the total 720), followed by Physics and Chemistry at 180 marks each. Within Biology, Human Physiology, Genetics and Evolution, and Ecology are the highest-weightage chapters.

Which chapters were removed from NEET syllabus in 2024?

The 2024 NEET syllabus revision removed several chapters including: Transport in Plants, Mineral Nutrition, Digestion and Absorption, Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production, Reproduction in Organisms, and Environmental Issues (Biology). Certain Chemistry chapters like Environmental Chemistry, Solid State, Polymers, and Surface Chemistry were also removed.

Is NEET Physics easier than JEE Main Physics?

NEET Physics has fewer numerical questions and lower conceptual depth compared to JEE Main. However, NEET Physics is considered the hardest section within NEET due to its problem-solving nature, and often decides ranks.
