NEET-UG 2026 Exam Syllabus

The NEET-UG 2026 syllabus is prescribed by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and is based on the NCERT curriculum for Class 11 and Class 12. The syllabus has been designed after reviewing various state syllabi as well as those prepared by CBSE, NCERT, and COBSE to ensure uniformity across the country, keeping in view the relevance of different areas in medical education.

Candidates must thoroughly familiarize themselves with the complete syllabus – topic-wise and sub-topic-wise – before beginning their preparation. Knowing the syllabus inside out is the first and most important step toward cracking NEET.
