How we rank chapters
We compared published analyses of NEET papers from 2020 to 2024, including one that counted more than 250 questions per subject. The sources agree on which chapters come up most, but not on exact percentages, so we show tiers instead of numbers that look more precise than they are.
Chapters marked estimate have thin data, so treat their tier as a rough guide. Chapters marked Foundation may carry fewer direct questions, but other chapters depend on them. Do not skip them.
The chapter list follows the current NMC syllabus. The official 2027 syllabus comes with the information bulletin on neet.nta.nic.in. We update this page when it changes.
Questions students ask
How many chapters are in the NEET 2027 syllabus?
83 chapters across Physics, Chemistry and Biology: 28 in Physics, 23 in Chemistry, 32 in Biology.
What is the NEET exam pattern?
Questions: 180, all compulsory. Sections: Physics 45 · Chemistry 45 · Botany 45 · Zoology 45. Total marks: 720. Marking: +4 for a correct answer, −1 for a wrong one, 0 if left blank. NTA confirms the 2027 pattern in its information bulletin.
Is the NEET syllabus the same for Class 11 and Class 12?
No. Roughly half the chapters come from Class 11 and half from Class 12, and both count equally in the exam. Class 11 chapters like Units & Measurements, Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry and The Living World are the base for much of Class 12.
Where can I find the official NEET 2027 syllabus?
On neet.nta.nic.in, published with the information bulletin. This page follows the current NMC syllabus and is updated when the official one changes.
