NEET 2026 Syllabus by NTA: Subject-wise Syllabus (Physics, Chemistry & Biology)

NEET Syllabus 2026 Overview

The NTA just put out the NEET 2026 syllabus - so students need to check what’s new in topics, structure, or marks breakdown to plan better. Instead of broad changes, this year sticks close to Physics, Chemistry, and Bio from Grades 11 and 12 NCERT books, keeping things steady no matter which board you’re from.

The syllabus checks how well students grasp ideas, think through problems, then use those ideas in everyday situations. Starting sooner with the NEET 2026 topic-by-topic plan boosts your odds of landing a high score.

NEET Syllabus 2026: Subjects and Chapters

The NEET syllabus includes three main areas - physics, biology, chemistry - not just one or two but all bundled together 

  • Physics (Class 11 & 12 NCERT)
  • Chemistry (Physical, Organic & Inorganic)
  • Biology (Botany + Zoology)

Every topic covers key sections often tested during exams.

NEET Biology Syllabus 2026

Biology matters most in NEET - 90 questions, worth 360 marks. That covers Botany along with Zoology

Class 11 Biology

  • Diversity in Living Organisms
  • Structural Organisation in Plants and Animals
  • Cell Structure and Function
  • Plant Physiology
  • Human Physiology

Class 12 Biology

  • Reproduction
  • Genetics and Evolution
  • Biology in Human Welfare
  • Biotechnology: Principles and Applications
  • Ecology and Environment

High-scoring NEET Biology topics:
Human Physiology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Plant Physiology, Ecology

NEET Physics Syllabus 2026

Physics is often considered the most challenging section due to numerical and conceptual questions.

Class 11 Physics

  • 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

  • Oscillations and Waves

Class 12 Physics

  • Electrostatics
  • Current Electricity
  • Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism
  • Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents
  • Optics
  • Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
  • Atoms and Nuclei
  • Electronic Devices

High-scoring NEET Physics topics:
Modern Physics, Electrostatics, Optics, Current Electricity, Thermodynamics

NEET Chemistry Syllabus 2026

Chemistry splits into three parts - Physical, then Organic, followed by Inorganic.

Class 11 Chemistry

  • Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
  • Structure of Atom
  • Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
  • Thermodynamics
  • Equilibrium
  • Organic Chemistry – Basic Principles
  • Hydrocarbons

Class 12 Chemistry

  • Solid State
  • Solutions
  • Electrochemistry
  • Chemical Kinetics
  • Surface Chemistry
  • d-block plus f-block elements
  • p-Block Elements
  • Coordination Compounds
  • Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
  • Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers
  • Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids
  • Biomolecules

Most important NEET Chemistry topics:
Chemical Bonding, Equilibrium, Carbonyl Compounds, p-Block Elements, Electrochemistry

NEET Syllabus Chapter-Wise Weightage

Though the focus might shift a bit yearly, old tests suggest:

Biology Weightage

  • Human Physiology – 15–20%
  • Genetics & Evolution – 12–15%
  • Ecology – 10%
  • Biotechnology – 8–10%

Physics Weightage

  • Modern Physics – 10–12%
  • Electrostatics – 9–10%
  • Current Electricity – 7–8%
  • Thermodynamics – 7–8%

Chemistry Weightage

How to Prepare for NEET 2026 Syllabus

1. Start With NCERT Books

NEET questions rely heavily on NCERT ideas - most come straight from those basics.

2. Follow a Chapter-Wise Plan

Tackle the big-point topics early - start there instead.

3. Practice MCQs Daily

Spend around an hour doing 100 to 150 multiple-choice questions daily.

4. Give Weekly Mock Tests

Keep an eye on how accurate you are, while also watching your clock skills.

5. Revise Regularly

Go over Biology every day while switching between Physics or Chemistry on other days.

Tips to Cover NEET Syllabus 2026

  • Write quick points to review later
  • Solve previous year NEET papers
  • Use flashcards for Biology terms
  • Get familiar with formulas plus understand reactions well
  • Pay extra attention to the parts you struggle with
  • Keep going without taking big breaks between learning sessions

Books For NEET Syllabus 2026 Preparation

Biology

  • NCERT Biology (Class 11 & 12)
  • Trueman’s Biology
  • MTG Objective Biology

Physics

  • NCERT Physics
  • HC Verma
  • DC Pandey (Objective Physics)

Chemistry

  • NCERT Chemistry
  • OP Tandon
  • MS Chauhan (Organic Chemistry)

Minimum Score to Clear NEET 2026

Cut-off changes every year, yet looking at past trends,

  • Unreserved category – 144 
  • SC, ST, OBC – 113
  • Unreserved EWS and PWD – 127

Yet when it comes to a public medical school spot, applicants generally require:

  • Over 600 marks needed for top government colleges
  • Over 550+ for mid-tier colleges

Final Thoughts

The NEET 2026 syllabus from NTA? It's clear, built around NCERT, so it’s easy to follow when you plan well. Instead of memorizing, aim for real grasp - work through MCQs often, use spaced reviews now then. Good prep turns this challenge into something anyone can handle.
