NEET 2027 Syllabus

What the NMC actually notified — unit by unit, subject by subject — plus the exam pattern, what was cut from the old syllabus, and every chapter page.

In short

The NMC syllabus lists 20 Physics units, 20 Chemistry units and 10 Biology units. The paper is 180 questions for 720 marks in three hours, with +4 for a correct answer and −1 for a wrong one.

Those 50 units break down into the 97 chapters you actually study — listed in full further down, each linking to its own questions, videos and tests.

Nothing has changed for NEET 2027. The syllabus in force is still the reduced one the NMC notified in 2023, and no revision has been published since — so the units, the 97 chapters and the deletions below all carry over unchanged.

A wrong answer costs you five marks relative to leaving it blank — four you don't gain, one you lose. That arithmetic is the whole argument for accuracy over coverage in the last month.

What was deleted #

These cuts date from the 2023 revision and are still in force for NEET 2027. Biology lost whole chapters. Physics and Chemistry lost topics inside chapters — which is the harder kind of cut to revise around.

Frequently asked #

How many units are in the NEET 2027 syllabus?
The NMC-notified syllabus lists 20 Physics units, 20 Chemistry units and 10 Biology units — 50 in all. Those break into the 97 chapters listed above, which is the level you actually study and practise at.
What is the NEET 2027 exam pattern?
180 multiple-choice questions, all of which must be attempted, for 720 marks in three hours. +4 for a correct response, −1 for an incorrect one. Available in 13 languages.
What was removed from the syllabus?
Biology lost 11 Class 11 chapters and 5 Class 12 chapters outright. Physics lost topics from 9 Class 11 chapters and portions of 10 Class 12 chapters; Chemistry lost topics from 14 and 16 chapters respectively. Partial cuts are the ones worth checking chapter by chapter.
Is the deleted syllabus really out of the exam?
The notified syllabus is what NTA sets the paper from. Where a chapter is only partially cut, the safest read is the chapter page's topic list — it reflects what's still examinable rather than the whole old chapter.
