| Plant Physiology | Photosynthesis, Respiration, Plant Growth, Mineral Nutrition | 8-10 | ~11% |
| Cell Biology | Cell Structure, Cell Division, Biomolecules | 6-8 | ~9% |
| Ecology | Organisms & Environment, Ecosystem, Biodiversity | 6-8 | ~9% |
| Diversity in Living World | Classification, Plant Kingdom, Animal Kingdom | 5-7 | ~8% |
| Reproduction | Human Reproduction, Reproductive Health, Sexual Reproduction in Plants | 5-7 | ~8% |
NEET 2026 Physics Syllabus
NEET Physics has 45 questions (180 marks). Mechanics and Electrodynamics together contribute ~50% of Physics questions.

| Inorganic Chemistry | Periodic Table, Chemical Bonding, p-Block, d-Block, Coordination Compounds | ~35% |
NCERT Alignment
NEET questions are directly based on NCERT textbooks. Over 85% of Biology questions and 70% of Chemistry questions can be answered using NCERT alone. Thoroughly reading NCERT line-by-line is the single most effective preparation strategy.
- Read NCERT Biology line-by-line — every example, diagram, and footnote
- For Chemistry, master NCERT + solve NEET PYQs for pattern recognition
- For Physics, NCERT provides the foundation; practice numerical problems from additional books
- Highlight and annotate your NCERT — these become your revision notes
