For NEET aspirants, understanding what to study and what not tois critical. Many students lose marks not because they didn’t study hard, but because they studied irrelevant or deleted portions.
This detailed guide will help you:
- Understand the updated NEET 2026 syllabus
- Identify deleted and reduced topics
- Know subject-wise chapter distribution
- Focus on high-weightage areas
- Plan preparation the right way
NEET 2026 Syllabus Overview (What Has Changed This Year)
NEET 2026 follows NCERT rationalisation, meaning certain topics have been removed or reduced across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Students must align preparation strictly with the updated syllabus to avoid wasted effort.
