The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) 2027 syllabus and exam pattern are crucial for every aspiring medical student. This guide is checked chapter-by-chapter against the same syllabus data that powers nextAIR's own question bank and predicted mocks, so the list below is what you're actually practising against here — not a generic copy of an old syllabus PDF.
NEET 2027 will assess your knowledge across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (Botany & Zoology), primarily based on the NCERT curriculum. Understanding the official syllabus and the Computer Based Test (CBT) format is your first step towards securing an All India Rank (AIR).
Official NEET 2027 Syllabus Overview by NTA/NMC
The NEET-UG syllabus is prescribed by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the apex regulatory body for medical education in India, and the examination is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The syllabus covers Class 11th and 12th science curricula from the current, rationalized NCERT textbooks — the chapter names below are the ones actually in force, not the pre-rationalization list still copy-pasted on many prep sites.
Physics Syllabus for NEET 2027
- Class XI Topics: Units & Measurements, Motion in a Straight Line, Motion in a Plane, Laws of Motion, Work, Energy & Power, System of Particles & Rotational Motion, Gravitation, Mechanical Properties of Solids, Mechanical Properties of Fluids, Thermal Properties of Matter, Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory, Oscillations, Waves.
- Class XII Topics: Electric Charges & Fields, Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance, Current Electricity, Moving Charges & Magnetism, Magnetism & Matter, Electromagnetic Induction, Alternating Current, Electromagnetic Waves, Ray Optics & Optical Instruments, Wave Optics, Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter, Atoms, Nuclei, Semiconductor Electronics.

Chemistry Syllabus for NEET 2027
- Class XI Topics: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry, Structure of Atom, Classification of Elements & Periodicity, Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure, Chemical Thermodynamics, Chemical Equilibrium & Ionic Equilibrium, Redox Reactions, Organic Chemistry — Basic Principles & Techniques, Hydrocarbons, p-Block Elements (Group 13–14).
- Class XII Topics: Solutions, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, p-Block Elements (Group 15–18), d- & f-Block Elements, Coordination Compounds, Haloalkanes & Haloarenes, Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones & Carboxylic Acids, Amines, Biomolecules.
Enhance your preparation with Chemistry chapter-wise tests.
Biology Syllabus for NEET 2027
Biology is split into Botany and Zoology — both count toward the same 90-question, 360-mark section, but they're tested (and best practised) as two separate subjects.
- Botany, Class XI: Biological Classification, Plant Kingdom, Morphology of Flowering Plants, Anatomy of Flowering Plants, Cell — The Unit of Life, Cell Cycle & Cell Division, Photosynthesis in Higher Plants, Respiration in Plants, Plant Growth & Development.
- Botany, Class XII: Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants, Microbes in Human Welfare, Biotechnology — Principles & Processes, Biotechnology & Its Applications, Organisms & Populations, Ecosystem, Biodiversity & Conservation.
- Zoology, Class XI: The Living World, Animal Kingdom, Structural Organisation in Animals, Biomolecules, Breathing & Exchange of Gases, Body Fluids & Circulation, Excretory Products & Elimination, Locomotion & Movement, Neural Control & Coordination, Chemical Coordination & Integration.
- Zoology, Class XII: Human Reproduction, Reproductive Health, Principles of Inheritance & Variation, Molecular Basis of Inheritance, Evolution, Human Health & Disease.

NEET 2027 Exam Pattern: CBT Format Explained
While NEET-UG has traditionally been an OMR-based exam, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has confirmed NEET-UG moves to a Computer-Based Test from the 2027 cycle. Practicing in a CBT environment before the real exam significantly improves speed and familiarity with the interface — full detail in our CBT explainer →
Duration, Marking Scheme, and Question Types
- Total Questions: 180 questions — 45 each from Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology. There is no optional or "Section B" set to choose from; every question is compulsory.
- Total Marks: 720 marks.
- Duration: 3 hours and 20 minutes (200 minutes).
- Marking Scheme: +4 marks for every correct answer, −1 mark for every incorrect answer, 0 marks for unattempted questions.
- Question Type: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) with four options, only one of which is correct.

Studying From the Current Syllabus
The chapter lists above already reflect the current, rationalized NCERT curriculum — they're the same chapter set nextAIR's own question bank and predicted-mock generator are built from, so there's nothing further to reconcile against an "old" list here. If a book, coaching handout or another site names a chapter that doesn't appear above — Environmental Chemistry, Hydrogen or s-Block Elements as standalone Class 11 chapters, States of Matter, Digestion and Absorption, Transport in Plants, Mineral Nutrition, Reproduction in Organisms, Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production — that chapter is no longer part of the current NEET syllabus, and time spent on it is time not spent on what's actually being tested.
Always cross-check against the official NTA/NMC notification for the definitive word — nextAIR is not affiliated with either body.

See the full chapter-by-chapter breakdown above, and always cross-check against official NTA/NMC notifications for the definitive word.
Will NEET 2027 be a Computer Based Test (CBT)?
Yes — NTA has confirmed NEET-UG moves to a Computer-Based Test from the 2027 cycle, ending its history as an OMR exam. Full detail here →
Are there chapters from older syllabi that are no longer tested?
Yes. Chapters like Environmental Chemistry, Hydrogen and s-Block Elements as standalone Class 11 topics, States of Matter, and several Class 11 Biology chapters (Digestion and Absorption, Transport in Plants, Mineral Nutrition, Reproduction in Organisms, Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production) are not part of the current syllabus. If a resource still lists them as current, it's working from an outdated syllabus version.
What is the marking scheme and question count for NEET 2027?
180 questions total — 45 each from Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology, all compulsory (no optional "Section B" to choose from) — for 720 total marks. Marking is +4 for every correct answer, −1 for every incorrect answer, and 0 for unattempted questions, over a 3 hour 20 minute (200-minute) exam.
